The foundation of this Champagne lies in a broad selection of origins within the appellation, which gives the wine extra balance and complexity.
- Location / Origin: The grapes for Brut Réserve come from approximately 30 different crus in Champagne. This gives Boizel ample scope to precisely balance freshness, structure, and roundness.
- Regional Context: Champagne is a strictly defined appellation in Northern France, comprising hundreds of officially recognized villages and crus. Only wines from this region may bear the name Champagne.
The cellar approach here is entirely about balance, finesse, and a refined mousse.
- Fermentation: Only first-press juice is used for this cuvée. This is the most refined part of the pressing and is well-suited to a Champagne built on precision and elegance.
- Aging / Oak Maturation: 40% of the blend consists of reserve wines from the 2 previous harvests, stored in tanks, of which 4% is aged in foudres. This provides additional depth, roundness, and a broader mid-palate structure.
- Bottle Aging: The wine ages for 3 years on its lees. This refines the mousse and adds length and complexity to the Champagne.
The blend is classically constructed and clearly demonstrates what Boizel's house style is all about: elegance, structure, and fruit in balance.
- 40% Pinot Noir – Champagne: Pinot Noir gives the wine finesse and supporting structure.
- 35% Chardonnay – Champagne: Chardonnay brings floral elegance and extra precision to the blend.
- 25% Meunier – Champagne: Meunier provides fruit and roundness on the attack.
- 4.0 stars, Vivino: With over 5200 reviews, this Champagne consistently proves popular with a wide audience.
