A purer, drier expression from Barons de Rothschild, Brut Nature NV showcases the house’s elegant Chardonnay-led style with greater tension, minerality and precision. The blend is listed as 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, based on the 2018 vintage with 40% reserve wine, giving both freshness and depth. Bone-dry, refined and mineral-driven, it opens with bright notes of lemon curd, apricot, white peach, green apple and subtle sourdough, layered with light toast, almond biscuit and a fine chalky salinity. The palate is taut, focused and elegant, with fine bubbles, crisp citrus energy and a long, clean, saline finish. A sophisticated Champagne for those who enjoy a drier, more gastronomic style — excellent with oysters, sashimi, scallops, grilled prawns, caviar, white fish, roast chicken or aged Comté.
