Champagne Boizel Joyau de France Blanc de Blancs

The robe is brilliant, pale gold. The perlage is fine. The bouquet is refined, elegant, with fresh aromas of flowers (hawthorn) and dried fruits (almonds) supported by nuances of citrus fruits (grapefruit, yellow lemon peel). The complexity of the aromatic palate is then revealed with pastry notes supported by a very fine minerality. The freshness and vivacity, characteristic of the vintage, are well present and combine harmoniously with mineral notes, almost saline, and toasted aromas (roasted hazelnuts, brioche). The finish is persistent, fresh with a racy minerality.

The Boizel family’s history in Champagne extends well beyond the establishment of the house. The family has cultivated vineyards in some of the most well-known crus, such as Avize, Aÿ and Etoges. Detailed knowledge of the Champagne terroir including the best crus of the region has been developed and passed on from Auguste & Julie Boizel, the first in the family to produce their own wines, to the following generations. 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. Boizel utilizes only the first pressing and maintains a low dosage to preserve the wine’s natural expression. All wines are aged sûr lie in Boizel’s historic chalk cellars beneath the Avenue de Champagne for a minimum of three years, climbing to 15 years and above for the best vintages.
