| Francis Boulard Producer website
A partir de l'année 2010, Champagne Raymond Boulard devient pour un tiers Champagne Francis Boulard : les trois enfants de Raymond Boulard ont en effet choisi de se séparer pour suivre chacun leur chemin professionnel.
Francis Boulard est assisté par sa fille Delphine qui est à ses côtés depuis 2003 aussi bien à la vigne qu’aux chais. Les convictions profondes restent les mêmes : l’orientation de ce "nouveau" domaine sera résolument tournée vers la biodynamie et les vins de Champagne nature. Le tournant a déjà été pris depuis plusieurs années, le vignoble est déjà pour une bonne partie certifié en agriculture biologique (certification Ecocert). Le but est maintenant que cette certification soit totale sur la propriété du domaine Francis Boulard et Fille. Un nouveau nom pour aller encore plus loin.
Francis Boulard conserve les cuvées qu’il vinifiait déjà : Petraea et Les Rachais. Comme auparavant, plusieurs cuvées sont proposées en Extra-Brut (dosage inférieur à 6 g/L) et en Brut Nature (dosage zéro).
Début de commercialisation prévue : fin juin 2010.Champagne Blend"Champagne blend" is a classic grape blend that typically includes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and/or Pinot Meunier in any proportions.
However, this blend can also include Arbane, Fromenteau (Pinot Gris), Petit Meslier and/or Pinot Blanc as well.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

France - When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of consistent quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:
Champagne - The French region of Champagne (including the cities of Rheims, Épernay, and Aÿ) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and wine-making traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range in sweetness ranging from an extra brut or brut 0, to the basic brut to demi sec to doux; some houses produce single vintage champagnes and others produce non-vintage (or incorporate wines/grapes of multiple vintages), often to preserve a specific taste; combinations of grape varietals; and colors, including a rosé. There are several sub-appellations, including the Valley of the Marnes river running from Épernay west, Massif de Saint-Thierry north and west of Rheims, Valley of the Ardre, the Mountains of Rheims (between Rheims and Épernay), Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne, and Côte des Bar in the South. Champagne wine only uses three grape varietals (cépages): Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.ChampagneThe vineyards of Champagne on weinlagen-info |
