Our Review of the Cuvée

On the nose, this champagne reveals a rich palette of ripe white fruits and citrus, subtly enhanced by notes of pastry and honey. On the palate, it captivates with its fine, enveloping texture. The finish is marked by a pleasant length and admirable intensity, making it perfect as an aperitif or paired with fish and white meats. Take the time to let it breathe to reveal the full richness of its aromas. Served at 10 °C, it will dazzle your taste buds with its refined charm and expressive complexity.

Francis Boulard & Fille

Champagne | France

The estate switched to biodynamic farming several years ago, producing precise, lively champagnes that emphasize brightness over power. Barrel fermentation lends a full-bodied texture without weighing the wines down. A common thread runs through them: fine bubbles, crisp aromas, and a tension that carries the finish. The single-vineyard cuvées showcase the diversity of the Marne Valley’s soils, with distinct nuances ranging from chalk to sand and clay.
