This Champagne producer is the top-tier Champagne brand of the Boizel-Chanoine group, which is virtually unknown in the USA despite the fact that it is second in size only to LVMH, owners of Moet & Chandon, Veuve Cliquot, Krug, Ruinart & Mercier. This wine represents less than 5% of the Boizel-Chanoine production and is a blend of even parts chardonnay, meunier and pinot noir. It is fermented in stainless steel, and two thirds is allowed to go through malolactic while one third is blocked. It has been given 24 months of ageing on the lees and is a fresh, light, zippy style, perfect for the hot nights of summer! So far the wines have been very well received by the US press, with 90-point ratings across the board from the Wine Spectator, Wine and Spirits and Wine Enthusiast.
