Everyone who knows the Rothschild name is aware of the passion for wine that runs through the veins of the Rothschild family. Not only is the Rothschild family instrumental in the production of some of the most highly-rated wines coming out of France, but they also played a crucial role in the establishment of a burgeoning Israeli wine industry in the late 1800s. To date, the Rothschild family labels include many kosher wines, and their product portfolio continues to expand. If you know how to do something right – keep doing it, and do it well. That seems to be the motto for the Rothschild family’s portfolio, which includes wines from France to Argentina (Flechas de Los Andes Gran Malbec) and now all the way to New Zealand (Rimapere Sauvignon Blanc).

Barons de Rothschild Champagne is a premium Champagne brand created by the Rothschild family, and it is no exception to the Rothschild rule of doing things perfectly.

The branding and packaging of Barons de Rothschild Champagne often reflect the family’s heritage and elegance, with the family crest embedded in the bottles or labels.

The Rothschild family has had a cooperation with the Royal Wine Corporation for over 30 years. It was no surprise that their premium brand champagne caught the eyes of the proprietors at the RWC to create kosher champagne with a reputation as the Rothschild champagne. There are now two offerings from the Champagne line, Brut and Rosé. Every bottle of Barons de Rothschild Champagne has the exceptional characteristics of great Champagne. Barons de Rothschild Brut is a rich, multilayered, and delicate sparkling wine. It is made by blending Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes that were acquired from the best terroirs of the Champagne region of France and aged at least 3 years. This blend gives the wine its striking yellow color, fine layers of bubbly mousse, and hints of white peaches on the nose. The blend is 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir – 40% of the blend from reserve wines to maintain the most consistent product possible.

The Rosé brut is made of 94% Chardonnay and 6% Red Pinot Noir in order to lend its pinkish hue to this sparkling delight. The first pressing of the cuvée and malolactic fermentation is placed in steel vats, while the long-term aging on the lees lasts from 6 to 7 months. Once bottled, Champagne can age for 3 to 6 months.

This complex cuvée embodies the essence of the Rothschild family’s winemaking values: flawless, consistent, and delectable cuvées, all given the utmost care and precision in the creation of their products. Brut and Rosé Champagne take us into the world of Barons de Rothschild Champagnes, leaving a lasting impression of perfection. L’Chaim.
