Boizel : Brut Réserve

A well-proportioned brut, with subtle creamy, doughy, lemony aromas and flavors that make an attractive package.

A delicate, round Champagne with enveloping, approachable complexity. A beautiful nose with delicate citrus notes, subtle nuttiness and delicious salinity. Flavours of yellow apple, pear, salted almonds and dried apricots sit comfortably on the palate. A honeyed edge to the medium finish.

Very red apple on the nose and front palate, this is an extremely crisp and straight Champagne that’s very refreshing at the self-confidently dry finish. A cuvee of 40% pinot noir, 35% chardonnay and 25% pinot meunier with 40% of reserve wines from prior vintages. Disgorged in December 2022. Drink now.

(55% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier; 9 g/l dosage; disgorged in March, 2014): Light gold. Dried pear, beeswax, anise and a hint of chamomile on the nose. Dry and chewy, with ripe orchard and pit fruit flavors that show a hint of warmth. Closes on a bitter pear skin note, with good grip and decent persistence.

Medium yellow-green with silver reflections and a lively mousse. A floral bouquet, with white apple, hints of lime and a mineral touch. Medium complexity on the palate with a delicate core of peach fruit, hints of blossom honey and harmonious acidity. Overall, it's fruity and persistent. (Disgorged 05/23, PM).

The NV Champagne Reserve Brut reveals a bright yellow hue and offers a bit of mustiness on the nose, with aromas of parmesan, grapefruit pith, bread dough, and yellow plum. A blend of 55% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and the rest Meunier, it’s rounded on the palate, with a frothy mousse and a straightforward and lightly spicy finish. It is prime for drinking over the near term. Disgorged in August 2021.

Fresh and flavoursome, full-bodied with maturity and precise fruit.

This is the non-vintage cuvée from this family-owned producer in Epernay. It is a balanced wine, featuring soft, ripe white fruits, lifted by acidity and a gentle finish. The Champagne is highly drinkable.
