Description
Characteristics and Tasting Tips for the Villers-Marmery Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru 2019 from Boizel
Tasting
Color
The color displays a pale golden hue with vibrant green highlights, enhanced by a fine and persistent effervescence forming an elegant bead.
Nose
The nose reveals a floral delicacy marked by acacia, hawthorn and linden blossom, evolving towards indulgent notes of brioche, roasted almonds and acacia honey, complemented by lemon and grapefruit zest.
Palate
The attack is lively and taut, carried by the terroir's characteristic chalky signature. The silky texture reveals an elegant amplitude with flavors of candied citrus and fresh hazelnut, accentuated by a saline hint. The mineral and refreshing finish offers beautiful length.
Food Pairings
This champagne pairs perfectly with seafood, notably oysters, langoustines and scallop carpaccio. It also elegantly accompanies a white fish ceviche or fresh and creamy cheeses such as an ash-coated goat cheese or Brillat-Savarin.
Service
This cuvée is ideally served at a temperature of 8 to 10°C.
A Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru from the Montagne de Reims with chalky notes
The Estate
Founded in 1834 in Épernay by Auguste Boizel and Julie Martin, the House of Champagne Boizel continues its family heritage under the leadership of Florent and Lionel Roques-Boizel, sixth generation. This independent Champagne house sources its grapes from classified crus, notably the Grands Crus of Cumières and Aÿ. A pioneer of Blanc de Blancs since 1929, Boizel combines ancestral know-how and modern techniques to create exceptional champagnes.
The Vineyard
The village of Villers-Marmery is located on the eastern slope of the Montagne de Reims, benefiting from an eastern exposure on pure chalk soils. The vines flourish between 140 and 180 meters above sea level on this 246-hectare Premier Cru Champagne terroir, offering ideal conditions for the expression of chardonnay.
Winemaking and Aging
This Blanc de Blancs is vinified entirely in stainless steel vats to preserve the aromatic purity of chardonnay. Aging on lees extends over five years, developing the complexity and finesse of this exceptional single-cru. This champagne has a dosage of 3.5 g/L, giving it a pure and mineral expression.
Grape Variety
100% chardonnay.
