Manufacturing
Blanc de Blancs is made from a base wine consisting of 100% Chardonnay. Many champagnes are made from the grape must from both the first and second pressing, but for Barons de Rothschild champagne only the grape must from the first pressing is used. The grape must is poured into small stainless steel tanks, where fruit remains are allowed to fall to the bottom, so that the must is as clear as possible. Yeast is added to each tank. The tanks are temperature controlled and the fermentation takes place at low temperature. Then the malolactic fermentation takes place. After clarification and filtration, the base wine is often mixed with Reserve wines from previous vintages. Blanc de Blancs contains 40% Reserve wines. The mixed wine is poured into bottles, a little yeast and sugar are added and the wine is stored at low temperature (13ºC), whereby the fine bubbles are formed. In the cellars of the castle, the bottles are well protected from light and undergo a slow aging over the course of three to four years, after which the champagne is finished and stored for six to nine months.
