Champagne Barons de Rothschild Brut Millesime 2010

This is a joint project by all three branches of the Rothschild family: Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Mouton Rothschild, and Château Clarke.  The idea came after many gatherings at Domaine Barons de Rothschild where extended families spend time together.  They came to the realization that there was always Champagne served as a starter.  Why shouldn't they serve a Champagne by Domaine Barons de Rothschild?

The 2010 vintage Champagne Barons de Rothschild consists of 60% Chardonnay primarily sourced from Côtes des Blancs Grands Crus and Premiers Crus, and 40% Pinot Noir from La Montagne de Reims.

The 2010 Champagne Barons de Rothschild Brut is a complex wine for all occasions.  It's perfect as an aperitif or the featured wine at a Champagne meal.  It also pairs nicely with light dishes, shellfish, scallops, and rockfish.
