O Produtor, tasting note published in November 27th 2023

Luminous and deep golden color, with fine, persistent streams of bubbles. On the nose, initial woody notes give way to intense aromas of white flowers, cooked fruits, and grilled almonds with hints of spices (cinnamon, vanilla). The backbone is extraordinarily fresh. The palate offers a superb and complex body, delicately balanced between freshness and power. The rich aromatic range is intensified with notes of red fruits. It exhibits remarkable vinosity and elegance. The finish is exceptionally long.

The Boizel Cuvée Sous Bois 2009 Champagne was vinified in old barrels using traditional early 20th-century methods, recovering the character of Champagnes from the past, combining power and structure.

Made with grapes from five Grands and Premiers Crus: Chardonnay from Chouilly, Vertus, and Bisseuil, and Pinot Noir from Mailly and Tours-sur-Marne, it is a unique expression of a great vintage.

Vinification: Blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir; aged for 13 years on lees; dosage of 4g per liter.

Food and Wine Pairing: Cuvée Sous Bois is a great wine that needs a few minutes to fully develop in the glass. It is a perfect Champagne to enjoy throughout a meal.

Champagne Boizel

In 1834, Auguste Boizel and Julie Martin, a young married couple, joined forces to create their own Champagne House. Originally pastry chefs, born and raised in the Côte des Blancs, they shared the same strong entrepreneurial spirit. Julie’s ancestors were winegrowers in Ay and Mareuil-sur-Ay, and her dowry included a lease contract in Mareuil-sur-Ay. They chose Épernay as the home for their new venture and both lent their names to the House: ‘Boizel-Martin’.

High standards, generosity, loyalty, and a certain taste for freedom. These values have been central to the Boizel ethos since the creation of the House. High standards in the vineyards and throughout every stage of the winemaking process. Generosity in the way Champagne Boizel seeks to share this authentic, living product with others and opens its doors to visitors so that they can experience the Champagne art-de-vivre. Loyalty to its region, its family history, and also to its partners, customers, and wine lovers from around the world. Finally, the freedom to choose your own path to create sincere and authentic wines.

This philosophy has been passed down from generation to generation and shared by the men and women who have made Champagne Boizel what it is today. It is surely not by chance that the Champagne House has always been run by two, rather than one, pair of hands. That women have always played an equal role to that of the men. And that each generation has succeeded in creating very fine wines, as close as possible to the terroir, breaking with convention, and never hesitating to innovate to craft wines of uncompromising quality. Passion, dedication, a sense of duty, a desire to excel, and independent thinking have formed an unshakeable bond throughout the history of Champagne Boizel, and they continue to do so today.

Every detail counts when it comes to creating sincere and authentic Champagnes. Champagne Boizel’s artisan approach goes hand in hand with its constant quest for excellence and progress. Every day, Florent and Lionel Roques-Boizel strive to create the highest quality wines possible and make the right decisions for the future of this family Champagne House, which will soon be marking its 200th anniversary.

Since its creation in 1834, Champagne Boizel has sought to reveal the very best of the Champagne region in precise and generous wines that reflect the incredible diversity of Champagne’s terroir. Yet what the Boizel family offers is so much more than just its Champagnes. It offers a strong set of values that are reflected in the wines it creates.
