Paul Bara Grand Cru Extra Brut, Champagne, France NV Chateau L'Evangile While this wine does suffer

While this wine does suffer from high alcohol

Derived from the 2013 vintage and disgorged in March 2019

with a good bit of California sunshine thrown in to the mix

Garnet red color with petrol highlights

it deserves another couple of years in bottle to show its best
