This is our most exotic and intense Blanc de Blancs, all from one ancient vineyard in the 1er cru of Trepail, now over 75 years old. This bottle just took the staff by storm when I poured a flight of all Chardonnay Champagne for my final training seminar of the year. The Boulard Bauquaire made bottles twice the price seem hollow with its wonderful richness and white fruit quality. Luckily, this Champagne also has a great dry, long, chalky finish!

Fruit-forward, approachable, and easy-drinking. This is a great crowd-pleaser Champagne, perfect for sharing with a wide range of drinkers. It has enough freshness to stay lively while keeping the fruit generous and immediately appealing.

Trepail is a 1er Cru village in the Montage de Reims unique for its ability to ripen Chardonnay in Pinot Noir country. Trepail gets loads of morning sunshine that prevents the frost that can be lethal for Chardonnay grapes. Sourced from a single vineyard with old vines that are 75+ years old and aged for 3 years on the lees, the Boulard Bauquaire Trepail Brut Blanc de Blancs has aromas of pear, lime, orange blossom, and green apple. On the palate, chalky, creamy, fresh bread bakery, lime blossom, hazelnut, pear, honey, and acacia.

A super fun Blanc de Blancs from a single vineyard full of 75+ year old vines. On the palate, this champagne has the depth one would expect from very old vines, with notes of orchard fruit, croissant, lemon zest, and fresh cream, wrapped up with chalky acidity and a touch of honey. The perfect champagne for fans of "old vine" wines.
Notes
This Champagne comes from one plot of 70-year-old Chardonnay vines in the Montagne of Reims village of Trepail. It is aged for three years on the lees. The Champagne has a chalky, creamy, bread bakery-esque nose, and a concentrated impression on the palate. As one would expect from such ancient vines, it delivers the goods on the finish with plenty of chalk as well as a bit of honey and white fruit. This makes a perfect aperitif, but will also pair well with seafood such as seared scallops or even raw oysters. -- Gary Westby, K&L Champagne buyer
