December 27, 2022 - Pale salmon in the glass with slight orange rims. The nose leans towards an oxidative style, but this also feels slightly tired - not just on the nose, but on the palate as well. The acidity is mellow, not contributing in anyway to the Champagne's structure. As a result, the fruit feels wilted and boring. Finish also falls short. This could've been great in the past, but now it's in a rapid decline.

November 28, 2022 - Une autre belle réussite de Boulard.
Oxydatif au nez, petite fraise des champs mais subtil, la bouche est complexe, bulle très fine, longue finale, un Champagne de gastronomie sur son plateau. Très beau mais un peu cher a 162$, ca manque légèrement d'amplitude mais sinon rien a dire de négatif ! -

July 19, 2022 - Un style assez oxydatif, noisette, fait penser au Tondonia Rosé !
Un vin de gastronomie, très complexe avec une bulle hyper fine.
Un Champagne au profil atypique mais d'une grande qualité.
Magnifique dès maintenant. -

June 27, 2021 - 100% Pinot noir, dsg 07/2018
Exuberant nose of apricot and strawberry, it is very beautiful and bodes well for good things.
The palate is lively, the attack fresh but the substance remains compact. After 2 hours, this material loosens somewhat, with a beautiful vinosity and a smoky touch. The toasted notes mingle with saline flavors on the finish before falling a little flat with a very short length.
It is still a very good champagne but it leaves an unfinished taste, between dormant substance and a finish that drops very quickly. -

February 11, 2019 - Les Rachais - Boulard & Fille - 2009 - Extra Brut - Pinot Noir ( Rosé de saignée )
Quel beau champagne, que de plaisir. Le nez est exubérant sur la framboise, la fraise, cranberries, baies noir. C’est tout à la fois florale, type pot-pourri, rose fanée, notes briochées, toastées, beurre chaud.
En bouche, attaque dentelée et précise,petit creux au mileu, en demi corps, finale saline et salivante, d’une finesse incroyable.
C’est déjà très beau, encore mieux dans quelques années à n’en pas douter. Peut-être un des plus beau rosé que j’ai pu boire en champagne.
A accompagné de belle manière un Oreiller de la Belle Aurore.1 person found this helpful Comment
