Mythical Champagne
The
House Boizel which was born in 1834 is making 500 000 bottles of Great
Champagnes, the half of which is exported. Even though it integrated the Group
Boizel-Chanoine-Champagne, it has been resolutely keeping a family calling.
This Blending which was created in
1969 has a name that calls to mind. Its presentation is luxurious, sophisticated and elegant.
Appearance :
- Yellow
gold, intense
- Refined
fine bubbles
- Luminous
Aroma :
- Intense and open, of an exceptional maturity
- First
nose with a brioche and bun dominant characteristic, developing towards
cocoa and roasted coffee, result of the autolysis of the yeast of the
« prise de mousse » obtained during the long ageing on lath
- The
bouquet then discloses an unforgettable and imperceptible aromatic
palette, still amazing, with a honey, gingerbread, brandy cherry and prune
basis, translation of the 60% of Pinot Noir stemming from the Reims
Mountain, but also of candied citrus due to the 40% of Chardonnay of the Côte
des Blancs.
Taste :
- Attack
deliciously mineral, the unexpected freshness of which perfectly
translates the priceless character of the 1996 Vintage
- The
mouth then lets a generous and voluptuous roundness, peppered with subtle
overtones of citrus, take place
- Finale
delicately peppered and acidulous
- Fantastic length on the palate.
This Blending Joyau de France of
the House Boizel is an undisputed Champagne of exception which must absolutely be
tasted. It expresses all the know-how of the Master of the Cellar, Christophe
Roques-Boizel who managed to give the required maturing time for it to express
the whole potential of this exceptional 1996 year.
It can be described as self-sufficient. It can accompany your special moments for the aperitif with an aged Parmesan or along the meal on a lobster salad.
