Summary
The Paul Bara Comtesse Marie de France 2006 is a prestigious Blanc de Noirs Champagne, crafted exclusively from 100% Pinot Noir sourced from the esteemed Bouzy Grand Cru region. This vintage honors historical ties to the 12th century Countess of Champagne and is produced in limited quantities only during exceptional years. After approximately a decade of aging in deep chalk cellars, the wine exhibits a rich complexity with creamy textures and vibrant freshness. Tasting notes reveal a delightful interplay of lemon confit, yellow orchard fruits, brioche, and a hint of spice, all supported by a firm mousse and zesty acidity, offering an opulent yet structured experience that evolves beautifully over time.
