What it tastes like.

Reserve Brut Champagne NV  
80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay. The current disgorgement (May 2020) is based on the 2013 vintage (50%) with 50% vin de reserve and a Brut dosage of 7g/l.

'The Paul Bara Brut non-vintage is a terrific bottle of bubbly, with excellent complexity on both the nose and palate and a very elegant and refined mouth feel. On the palate the wine is fullish, crisp and focused, with excellent mid-palate depth, very refined mousse, bright acids and really outstanding length and grip on the complex finish. The Paul Bara is all refined elegance and great intensity of flavor. A truly superb bottle of Brut NV. 2010-2025+.' 92 points, John Gilman, View From The Cellar.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Champagne Paul Bara

Champagne

The Bara family records in Bouzy and the surrounding villages of Bisseuil, Oiry and Chouilly date back to the 1600s. Auguste François Bara arrived in Bouzy in 1833 to work as a cooper, married into a vine-owning family, and the line has farmed Bouzy ever since. Paul Bara — Chantale's father — was the first of the line to bottle and sell Champagne under the family name from the 1950s.
