Triptyque 2019

Champagne Barons de Rothschild was born from the union of the three branches of the Rothschild family, sharing a common ambition to create exceptional champagnes combining precision, elegance and excellence. Founded in 2005, the House draws upon some of Champagne's finest terroirs, particularly the Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. Its signature style emphasises purity of fruit, freshness and balance, reflecting the Rothschild family's commitment to craftsmanship and quality.

Triptyque  is a vintage champagne celebrating the art of blending through three exceptional Grand Cru terroirs. Avize contributes the mineral tension and precision of Chardonnay, while Aÿ and Ambonnay provide the depth, richness and structure of Pinot Noir. Crafted from equal proportions of both varieties, this cuvée harmoniously combines the saline freshness of the Côte des Blancs with the generous character of the finest Pinot Noir vineyards. Extended lees ageing and a precise dosage of just 5 g/l create an elegant balance of power, finesse and complexity.

Appearance: Brilliant golden colour with silver highlights and fine, generous bubbles.

Nose: Delicate and complex, revealing chalky minerality alongside ripe grapefruit, fresh raspberry and cherry, complemented by subtle peppery notes.

Palate: Generous and expansive on the attack, with fresh red fruit and a rich, enveloping texture. The Chardonnay brings saline, citrus-driven freshness and precision, while Pinot Noir provides structure and depth. The long, elegant finish reveals delicate bitters and orange peel.

Food Pairing: Excellent with scallop carpaccio, roasted lobster, turbot, Bresse chicken, sweetbreads or aged hard cheeses
