Blend of Monastrell, Syrah and Alicante Bouchet. Dark ruby/purple color with a slight garnet rim. Aromas of ripe black fruit, garrigue and dried violets. Flavors of ripe blackberries, plums and blueberry fruit with additional notes of dried herbs, sweet spices and tobacco. Medium-plus finish, full bodied and well balanced acidity. Best with some aeration and hearty food. Plush and round. Thanks to Kasey and Pete for bringing this wine on our 2026 Cape May, NJ vacation. — 9 days ago

Full-bodied, taste of very ripe figs, dried prunes or jam (very pronounced, almost like it was made with raisins..). Also has a dry, tannic character. A tasty wine worth trying, but know what to expect! — 8 years ago

16.5/20 (91/100) Аромат спелой вишни, брусники и малинового варенья с легкой нотой поджаренного хлеба. Средняя тельность, высокая кислотность, довольно интенсивные, но гладкие по текстуре танины. Ягодное во вкусе с брусничной горчинкой. Весьма достойное вино. — 8 years ago

Acompañamos este vino con una parrilla de hamburguesas con papas fritas y ensalada, recordé un plato que se servía en el Boom “la explosión del sabor” restaurante en el que trabaje años atrás, se llamaba "Boom Burger", dejo la receta: plato fuente, la hamburguesa va en una de las tapas del pan con queso y en la otra una rodaja de tomate, pepinillos, mostaza, gran porción de papas fritas coronadas con un salchicha hotdog (descarte la salchicha), era un éxito venía con un Milk Skake de regalo, buenos tiempos, Saludos #vino #vinos #pisco @aspercat1 #10añosdeamoralpisco @elpiscoesdlperu — 9 years ago

First time trying the Baron-Fuente Millesime after their Reserve and it enjoying that quite a bit. This one needs a bit of time in bottle to show its better self than their N/V fresh.

The nose shows; macerated fruits of, green & golden apples, lemon, lime zest, well overripe pineapple, white peach and hints of grapefruit with pith. Lots of bread dough and yeastiness. Soft chalkiness & volcanic minerals, oyster shells, yellow florals & lilies with mixed greens.

The palate again delivers that bread dough & yeastiness. Macerated fruits of; green & golden apples, lemon, lime zest, well overripe pineapple, white peach and hints of grapefruit with pith. Lots of bread dough and yeastiness. Soft chalkiness & gritty volcanic minerals, saline, oyster shells, yellow florals & lilies with mixed greens. Good acidity and a well balanced & polished finish. This will deliver a little more with a 3-5 years in bottle.

The images aren’t flashy like Krug, Billecart or Ruinart etc. but, if you want a really nice, well priced Blanc de Blanc Champagne, this is for you. At, $24.99, I would challenge anyone to find another Champagne let alone a good one at this price point. As well, an equal Cremant or sparking wine in the same price range. Exceptional QPR here!

The nose is bright and fresh. Crisp green apple, lighter color citrus, overripe pineapple, orange peel and spray, touch of golden apple, touch of bruised pear, ginger notes, vanilla cream soda, caramel notes, spice, hints of baguette crust, honey, darker minerals with chalk, sea spray, fruit blossoms and withering yellow lilies.

The wine brings rich, reductive freshness and substantial acidity to your palate. Crisp green apple, lighter color citrus, overripe pineapple, orange peel and spray, under ripe green melon, touch of golden apple, light bruised pear, ginger notes, vanilla cream soda, caramel notes, marzipan, white spice, hints of baguette crust, honey, darker minerals that press the palate deeply with teeth & heat, nice chalkiness, sea spray, fruit blossoms with withering yellow lilies. The finish is quite nice with richness and goes on and on and on.

Photos of; the House of Baron Fuentes, Chardonnay grapes being harvested and Eric De Brisis, the proprietor for Baron Fuente, which is owned by Ignace Baron.

Baron Fuente is a Champagne negotiant that also owns thirty-eight hectares of their own vineyards. They are located in a village called Charly at the far western edge of Champagne. The side closest to Paris. — 8 years ago
