Blanc de Blancs Vieilles Vignes Extra Brut - Francis Boulard et Fille

Region: Champagne, France

Grapes: Chardonnay

The wines produced by Francis Boulard owe a lot to his grandfather, who would often talk about the importance of the moon on planting and working the soil. Boulard’s three-hectare estate is, therefore, run using age-old methods that are in line with nature and seasonal rhythms. Even bâtonnage, the stirring of lees which takes place every ten to 12 days in this case, is timed to coincide with lunar “fruit days” and “flower days”. Spontaneous fermentation is by indigenous yeasts with vinification on fine lees in small barrels. This cuvée has notes of white flowers and citrus fruit. The champagne is fine and round in the mouth supported by a freshness with a little mineral hint. The perfect aperitif for any celebration can be paired with the richness of a Brillat Savarin or a young Langres. 

ABV: 12.5%
