The story
Production is rooted in the Bara family and the village of Bouzy: ownership and operations have been consolidated over time, and management is now entrusted to Chantale Bara. The maison is known for the artisanal traditions of the Bouzy area and for its international exports, with historical references cited by importers and industry specialists.
Production philosophy
A strong focus on terroir and grape quality: priority is given to the use of the first pressing, to conservative winemaking practices, and to extended bottle aging to produce Champagnes that express the character of the Bouzy Grand Cru.
Terroir and vineyards
Bouzy, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims: calcareous-clayey soils typical of the cru, favorable exposures and a strong concentration of Pinot Noir characterize the style of the wines produced by the house.
