Paul Bara


Bouzy grower Paul Bara is, in the words of Antonio Galloni, ‘one of Champagne’s undisputed leaders in quality’. They make 100% Grand Cru Champagnes, with fruit from 33 house-owned parcels across the Montagne de Reims. They have been on the scene releasing Champagnes under the family name since the 1950s, though they have a family history as vine owners and coopers in the area for much further back. Their hand-dug, 100-year-old cellars lie 11 meters below ground, and here they age their non-vintage Champagnes in bottle for two to three years, and their vintage Champagnes for a minimum of five to six years. The focus is on Pinot Noir, which results in full-bodied, fruit-driven wines which define the house style. Special Club is only made in exceptional years; the still base wine and, much later, the finished Champagne both have to pass an expert (and third party) tasting panel before the Champagne can be released under this label.
