Bayonne—Royal Wine Corporation (RWC), the world’s largest kosher wine producer and importer, is pleased to announce the release of the kosher version of the award-winning Champagne Barons de Rothschild Brut Cuvée, the first champagne venture of the Rothschild family, created by the historic coming together of the three winemaking branches of the family.
“We are thrilled to release the kosher Champagne Barons de Rothschild Brut Cuvée,” said Nathan Herzog, executive VP of the Royal Wine Corp., “this is truly amazing new Champagne—offering just exceptional quality and elegance. We are honored to be the exclusive importers of this kosher production.” This is a kosher and mevushal version of the Champagne Barons de Rothschild Brut Cuvée made for the kosher consumer market, and embodies the essence of the Rothschild family’s winemaking values: perfection, constancy and a spirit of purity and refinement, all given the utmost of care.
Champagne Barons de Rothschild represents a special venture for the winemaking branches of the Rothschild family. Ten years ago, the late Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, along with her son Philippe Sereys de Rothschild, both of Chateau Mouton-Rothschild, Baron Eric de Rothschild of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, and Baron Benjamin de Rothschild of Chateau Clarke, joined together for the first time in history to create a Champagne that would live up to the exceptional quality, elegance and refinement in wine associated with the Rothschild family. The Rothschild family demands excellence in their wines, and commands only the very best from their grape growers. The Champagne Barons de Rothschild Brut Cuvée is a complex assemblage, or blend, from the Champagne region’s best terroirs consisting of 60 percent Chardonnay, primarily from the Côte des Blancs, and 40 percent Pinot Noir, from the Montagne de Reims. As a further assurance of exceptional quality and consistency over time, they have blended in 40 percent reserve wines. The Champagne is aged in underground cellars for at least 3 years.
Champagne Barons de Rothschild is headed by Philippe Sereys de Rothschild, chairman of Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA, and son of the late Baroness Philippine de Rothschild (1933-2014). “Since its inception,” declared Philippe Sereys de Rothschild upon the initial launching of the new Champagne, “I have been passionate about this project with the vision to create for the family a grand Champagne. It is the Chardonnay that gives our Champagne the character, personality and balance… and expresses all the nuances that remind us of what made the quality of our wines for over 160 years, and the expression of the terroir. The end of the year is a special time to share Champagne with family, and we are very happy to be associated with special times with Champagne Barons de Rothschild.”
With Chanukah fast approaching, this wonderful new Champagne from Barons de Rothschild would make a delightful addition to any holiday party, and pairs perfectly with golden brown latkes!
