Champagne Paul Bara Brut Vintage 2016 (750ml)

Fresh red apple and white peach come through first, with undertones of lemon curd and crushed pear giving it lift and finesse. There’s a fine balance between ripe fruit and mineral tension, typical of the Bouzy Grand Cru terroir.

2016 was a cooler, more classical vintage, and it shows in the Champagne’s precision and length. The palate is layered with notes of toasted hazelnut, fresh pastry, and a subtle saline edge, thanks to extended lees ageing. The mousse is tight and persistent, giving the wine a creamy texture without heaviness. Refined, focused, and food-friendly—this vintage is ideal for those who appreciate elegance over opulence.
