Background

In 1834, the Boizel House was established in Épernay, the heart of Champagne, by a family passionate about the wines of its region. Intimate knowledge of the Champagne region, passed on through the generations, and access to grapes from the finest cru sites, are the essential elements behind the Boizels’ elegant portfolio. Working with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced only from Champagne’s most coveted Grands and Premiers Crus, blended with the best crus of Pinot Meunier, Boizel’s intimate knowledge of each village and hillside coupled with longstanding grower relationships allows them the ability to select the finest quality grapes for their Champagnes.

TERROIR & VINTAGE NOTES

Chardonnay grapes for the production of the Blanc de Blancs are sourced from Grands and Premiers Cru vineyards within the villages of Côte des Blancs. Every single Cru reveals a special particularity: Chouilly for floral notes, Le Mesnil sur Oger for minerality, Cramant for power and elegance, and Vertus for refined fruit.

Winemaking & Aging

The hand-picked grapes from these great sites develop their full potential during the long maturation process, resulting in wonderfully creamy finesse, elegance and character, but also delicacy. Post second fermentation, the wine is aged for four years on its lees, in bottle, in Boizel’s historic chalk cellars beneath the Avenue de Champagne. 40% of reserve wines are used in this cuvée.

Tasting Notes

The floral, very fine bouquet reveals fresh acacia and white flower aromas, with seductive notes of fresh brioche and honey, topped with hints of almond and citrus. Creamy but delicate, with hazelnut, grapefruit, and toasted brioche supported by fine minerality.

Points

Light, bright yellow. Delicate, mineral-tinged aromas of Meyer lemon, green apple and white flowers, with a hint of toasty lees in the background. Crisp and sharply focused, offering bitter lemon zest and orchard fruit flavors that become fleshier with air. Shows very good energy and cut on the finish, which leaves a hint of chalkiness behind. - J.R>

Vinous - January 2015

90
Points

A blend of grand and premier cru Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, this lightly mineral-textured wine is focused on ripe apples and delicate citrus flavors. Still all about fruit, this bottling (disgorged in December 2015) will benefit from aging. Keep until 2017. - RV

Round and smoky, this is a big and powerful chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. There’s plenty of freshness to carry its weight, lifting the aromas so it feels like a classic, old-school Champagne. – T.T

Points

A blend from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, this is tight and minerally in character. The texture is mitigated by the generous dosage that gives the wine its soft apple and pear notes. Drink now. -RV
