Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. The fruit comes from two parcels in two regions: one in the Boulard home village of Cormicy in the Massif de St. Thierry (far-north Montagne de Reims) and the other in the Vallée de la Marne. As for all Boulard vines, the farming is certified-organic and biodynamic. The fruit is harvested at high ripeness in order to achieve balance with little to no dosage. The hand-harvested bunches goes into the press but is not pressed--rather, the fruit macerates for about 12 hours to develop the rosé color and the juice is then drained off and vinified, hence the phrase "rosé de saignée". The juice is fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in used Burgundy barrels and goes through malolactic fermentation. The wine is bottled on biodynamic “fruit days” with no fining and with minimal sulfur. It is worth noting that only about 5% of rosé Champagnes are made by maceration rather than by blending still red wine into a white base.

Varietal: Champagne Blend

Whilst Champagne sparkling wines are most commonly made with a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grape varietals, there are actually seven fine grape varietals allowed by French wine law for inclusion in the wines of this region. These include Arbanne, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and and Petit Meslier alongside the others, although these four are being used less and less in the modern age. Champagnes are normally blended wines, although the popularity of single variety 'blanc de blanc' Champagnes made solely with Chardonnay grapes, and 'blanc de noir' wines made only with Pinot Noir varietal grapes are becoming more and more popular. The blending process found in most Champagnes aims to take the finest points of each grape varietal and bring them together to produce spectacular, strong yet balanced results in the bottle.

Region: Champagne

The north-easterly region of Champagne in France is amongst the most famous and well respected wine regions in the world. It's principle produce, the elegant sparkling white wines made with a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Petit Meunier grape varietals, have consistently grown in popularity for hundreds of years, and are still the sparkling wines of choice for most people across the globe. The region is quite an unusual one, in many ways. The high altitude and cool climate make it difficult for the grapes to ripen, but it is helped enormously by the mineral-rich, chalky soils which typify the region, and the heavily forested areas which help maintain moisture in the soil and an even temperature. The wineries of the region have generations of expertise, and know exactly how to make the most of their grape varietals, resulting in the distinctive and famous wines of Champagne we know and love.
