Petraea V – MMXII/MMXIII/ MMXIV/ MMV /MMVI 2022
Champagne | White | 2022
Petraea Champagne is a unique cuvée crafted using a Solera-inspired method, where each vintage contributes to a perpetual reserve. Made exclusively with the first pressing, this cuvée is cultivated on a siliceous-limestone terroir in the Massif de Saint-Thierry. The process includes spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, aging on fine lees with bâtonnage (lees stirring), and malolactic fermentation, all while avoiding fining and filtration for a natural expression.

Francis Boulard & Fille
The estate converted to biodynamic farming several years ago, resulting in precise, vibrant Champagnes that prioritize brilliance over power. Barrel fermentation imparts a full texture without weighing down the wines. A common thread runs through the wines: fine bubbles, clean aromatics, and a tension that carries them through to the finish. The single-vineyard cuvées showcase the diversity of the Marne Valley soils, with distinct nuances between chalk, sand, and clay.
