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

Champagne Paul Bara has been at Bouzy, east of Γ‰pernay in the Marne, since 1833. Seven generations have worked the same eleven hectares, all of it rated Grand Cru: nine and a half hectares of Pinot Noir on the top and middle of the slope, and a hectare and a half of Chardonnay on the lower ground nearer the village. The house is managed today by Chantal Bara, and Christian Forget makes the wines.

Those vineyard sites have been courted for years by much larger houses. Rather than expand, Bara has stayed with the same parcels and pushed quality instead: very low yields, hand harvesting, and whole-bunch pressing in small wooden and electric presses using only the heart of the pressing.

Each plot is fermented separately in stainless steel and malolactic is avoided on everything except the Bouzy rouge. The non-vintage cuvΓ©es carry up to half reserve wine and are dosed at around 7 g/L; only the Annonciade sees six months in barrel before ten years on lees, and it is dosed lower at 5 g/L. Vines are planted at 10,000 to the hectare and production is about 7,500 dozen. The estate is certified HVE3 and Vin Durable en Champagne.
