| Review: |
“Dried flowers, mint, spice and incense add aromatic intensity to the Pinot fruit. Readers will find a soft, caressing Champagne that is already showing a good bit of complexity …. This is a terrific set of wines from Francis Boulard et Fille, which is now run by Francis’ daughter Delphine. Sustainable farming and low intervention winemaking yield Champagnes that are marked by delineation, focus and remarkable purity. The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Vieilles Vignes is a fine introduction for readers who are new to the wines, while the 2013 Brut Nature Les Rachais shows how special this vintage is in the right hands.” |
