Reviewed August 2018Called Cuvée 7 because it is aged for seven years after bottling and before disgorgement, this wine is beautifully mature. It has a tight texture that is rich. The fruit is relaxing into almond and yeast flavors, with some toast as well as considerable minerality. (RV)

Lovely bead of bubbles with a creamy texture and pie crust, toasted bread and ripe apples that follow through to a medium to full body. Flavorful finish.

It has been a number of years since we were able to get some of this tete de cuvée Champagne from Baron Fuente, and I am thrilled to finally be able to offer it! This wine has concentration and focus that is up their with the best Champagne that we offer. It is the first time that they have introduced a proportion of barrel fermented Champagne in one of their wines, and just like the vintage offerings from houses like Billecart and Roederer, it only shows in texture- there is no wood flavor at all! This is vibrant, mineral driven Champagne that has the pin point streamers and fine texture that only a long seven years of ageing on the lees will bring. This is one of the great deals in top notch Champagne that we offer!

Seven years on the lees and it shows! Leesy, toasty, with bruised apple and a savory Parmesan rind edge. An equal-thirds blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier. really Lovely stuff tied for my favorite from Baron-Fuente with the 2018 "Rebelle"!

The Baron-Fuente 7 Brut Champagne has the depth and complexity of a Grand Marque. Layers and layers of flavors wrapped up in toasty package that's 7 years in the making. Produced from old vines on colder sites than the rest of their line, this tete de cuvée is all-estate fruit, 40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, 30% Meunier, with 90% fermented in stainless steel tanks and 10% in oak barrels. That 10% in barrel adds great texture to the blend's pinpoint minerality, baking spices, and candied fruit. Baron-Fuente promotes the 7 as a gastronomic champagne, so it pairs with everything from poultry and seafood to grilled meats with heavy sauces.
Notes
This is the tete de cuvée from the Baron family in Charly-sur-Marne, and what a big step up it is! It is all estate grown and composed of 40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Meunier, a proportion of which is barrel fermented. It is aged, as advertised, for seven years on the lees, and dosed at 7 g/l. This spectacularly well-balanced Champagne is a great addition to their range! (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne buyer)
