What reviewers say
“My last 2002 bottle purchased on a visit to the producer in 2009. A really rich and well made vintage champagne, with a wide range of flavours, complexity and long aftertaste. Tiny bubbles kept coming in the glass throughout the drinking. Yummy.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Paul Bara Brut Champagne Grand Cru 'Bouzy' is a French sparkling wine from Champagne Grand Cru Bouzy.
Only 21 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 21 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track. 2,765 other sparkling wines from France form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Paul Bara Brut Champagne Grand Cru 'Bouzy' lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 21.
