Champagne Paul Bara

Annonciade 2012

The Champagne Annonciade by Paul Bara owes its name to the woman who in 1833 married Auguste François Bara, a cooper from Bouzy, and from that bond between the family and wood comes the idea of a barrel-fermented cuvée, the most ambitious and recognisable of the Domaine. Bouzy, a Grand Cru village from the Montagne de Reims, offers clay and limestone to vines of great age, where Pinot Noir reaches a deep ripeness able to sustain a long dialogue with wood without effort.

This edition, Vintage 2012, brings together Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes in equal parts, chosen among the finest lots of the village and selected barrel by barrel after repeated tastings in the cellar. Vinification and fermentation take place in oak casks for about six months, a passage that brings volume and lightly spiced shades, while after tirage comes an ageing on the lees of more than ten years before dégorgement, in an Extra Brut style of great composure.

On tasting, Annonciade 2012 wins through its depth and finesse, with notes of ripe fruit, hazelnut, light honey and delicate spices wrapped in a subtle chalky minerality. On the palate it is ample and silky, crossed by a vibrant freshness that carries an elegant and persistent finish, in a Champagne of intense and timeless character.

Paul Bara

Domaine Paul Bara has deep roots in Bouzy, the Grand Cru village of the Montagne de Reims renowned for the power and finesse of its Pinot Noir. Founded in 1833 and family-run ever since, it is one of the most authentic historic estates in Champagne, and in the 1950s Paul Bara became the first of the dynasty to sell Champagne under his own name. Since 2021 the estate has been led by Stéphanie Ducloux, working alongside Chantale Bara, an emblematic figure of the family.

A member of the Club Trésors de Champagne, which brings together some of the region's finest independent vignerons, the Domaine combines technical precision with loyalty to tradition, using stainless steel vinifications that preserve freshness and aromatic purity along with a skilful use of vin de réserve that lends complexity and stylistic continuity. Since 2023 the role of Chef de Cave has been held by Grégory Baert, heir to more than thirty years of work by Christian Forget.

The estate vineyard covers around 11 hectares divided into 33 parcels, with a clear predominance of Pinot Noir alongside a small share of Chardonnay, and the vines, often of considerable age, grow on chalky soils that give the wines elegance and structure. Certified Haute Valeur Environnementale since 2020, the Domaine practises natural grass cover, gentle soil work and the avoidance of herbicides and insecticides. The result is a straight, distinctive Champagne that invites you to discover the Grand Cru soul of Bouzy.
