My daughter finally passed her driving test, so something sparkling was needed.
Raymond Boulard 1998
Nice light gold colour, classic Boulard pear drops and green apple flavours.
You can feel the maturity of the grapes on the palate, Francis always used to pick quite late.
This is lovely champagne with depth and charm.
The Raymond Boulard house now doesn’t exist anymore as the family has split the business.
Francis Boulard and his daughter Delphine are now making their own wines under the name Francis Boulard Champagne
The direction they are taking is very exciting and I’m glad they decided to go this way.
They are focusing on Biodynamic, natural and low dosage winemaking which they’d already started with cuvees like Petraea and les Rachais.
I feel this is a very good move for them and the wines will be very popular no doubt.
