Champagne Baron-Fuenté SAS

Only the best years are vintage, and 2013 is one of them. It was
a late and cool year with a harvest that brought together all the
characteristics of a great vintage. The 2013 vintage is made from
our best vines located on the banks of the Marne, in the largest
Champagne vineyard.
Blend
45% Chardonnay
40% Pinot Meunier
15% Pinot Noir
Characteristics
Aged 8 years in cellar on the lees. Dosed at 9 g/l.
Can be stored between 5 and 10 years.
Tasting and appreciation
Its pale gold robe with soft green glints, becomes golden over the
years. A beautiful cord of fine bubbles accompanies its delicate and
elegant nose hinting at the majority of Chardonnay used. Its bouquet
is a subtle mix of ripe citrus and fresh fruit, and in particular white
peaches. The black grape varieties then begin to reveal notes of small
red fruit and its marked vinosity. The palate retains wonderful liveliness
and aromatic freshness, which is slightly minty and tart with notes of
green apple. It is extremely well-balanced, harmonious, and full-bodied
with red fruits which are present in the bouquet. Notes of citrus come
back for the finish and then slowly fade.
Pairings
Elegant and generous, the 2013 vintage is an epicurean wine. It can
be enjoyed throughout a meal from the aperitif to the cheese platter:
seafood starters, a tasty roast pork, semi-cooked tuna with sesame
and lime, soft cheeses such as Brie, Pont Lévêque, as well as Epoisses.
You will immensely enjoy this remarkable cuvee which continues to get
better with time.

This Rosé, called ‘Saignée’, is obtained after long hours of
macerating the Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir grapes, which
gives it its bright and intense colour, as well as its typical red
fruit aromas.
Blend
50% Pinot Meunier
50% Pinot Noir
Characteristics
Rosé de Saignée, 24 to 36 hours of pellicular maceration.
Aged 4 years in cellar on the lees. Dosed at 6 g/l.
Tasting and appreciation
The dark pink robe is lavished with fine, plentiful bubbles. The
subtle notes of blackcurrant and strawberry give this powerful
bouquet an element of refinement. The palate enjoys a beautiful
balance between the flesh of the damson plum and the freshness
of cranberries, pomegranate and orange zest. This full-bodied
and rich cuvee expresses itself with finesse. A pure and intense
champagne with an incredible, and extremely soft, long finish.
Pairings
This delicate Rosé with great finesse can be enjoyed both as an
aperitif with poached salmon or with a strawberry base dessert.
A Rosé with character which is pleasing in every respect.

Pinot Meunier is Champagne Baron-Fuenté’s emblematic
grape variety and terroir, the Vallée de la Marne.
Unfortunately, because it is hard to work with, notably
requiring long cuvee ageing, it is often set aside in
Champagne. However, when growing and vinifying the
variety are perfectly mastered, a fabulous Grands Cépages
Meunier is obtained. As the word ‘average’ is not part of
our vocabulary, we have allowed it to freely and naturally
express itself in our cellars for 8 years with no dosage.
Blend

Characteristics
Aged 8 years in cellar on the lees. Dosed at 0 g/l.
Tasting and appreciation
This pure Pinot Meunier begins with an explosion of fine
bubbles forming a lively and enchanting cord, followed by
an alluring creamy foam covering an intense golden robe. Its
bouquet is scented with aromas of fresh hazelnut and raisins
macerated in wine. Even before tasting it, you can sense its
fresh, distinct, full-bodied and opulent qualities. The palate is
like biting into a Golden apple only to discover subtle notes
of dried fruit, peach and fig. This is a mature, finely toasted
champagne that has kept an absolutely wonderful vivacity.
You will be impressed with its rich finish.
Pairings
Our Grands Cépages Meunier cuvee is an ideal aperitif for
champagne enthusiasts. Let yourself be cradled by its delicate
bubbles that will transport you to the early morning of
harvesting in the vineyard. It also is unquestionably a true
drink to be served during meals. It is exquisitely paired with
red meat and poultry with character such as quail with duck
foie gras and figs or veal ribs with hazelnut cream sauce.
