The 2006 vintage by Francis Boulard and daughter is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 20% Meunier. The grapes come from plots averaging around thirty years old, located on the clay terroir of the Marne Valley and the limestone and siliceous slopes of the Saint-Thierry massif. These old vines offer superb structure, amplitude and rare power.
These are the most mature cuvées, those that best reflect the character of the 2006 vintage. The 2006 vintage was vinified in oak barrels that had already been harvested 5 times, to give the wine light woody notes. The dosage is extremely light, to let the champagne express itself fully.
