Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Boulard’s recent version of pure Pinot Meunier is the NV Les Murgiers (2014)officially non-vintaged but based on 2014whose must was fermented and aged in small oak barrels. Dosed as Extra Brut in December 2017, this bright golden colored Champagne opens with a beautifully pure, fine and elegant bouquet with delicate fruit aromas intertwined with some very precise flinty notes. Round and fruity on the palate but also pure, refined and elegant, this is a remarkably fine Pinot Meunier that already drinks perfectly as an aperitif and surely with cheese. The finish is pure, fresh, salty, very fine and full of character. A very delicate and linear Pinot Meunier of great finesse. Tasted in April 2018.

Producer Information

In 2009, Raymond Boulard’s three children decided to follow their own professional paths. The Raymond Boulard Champagne House ceased to exist therefore. Francis Boulard, his wife Jeanne and daughter Delphine started the house called Champagne Francis Boulard & Fille. For many years, Francis Boulard pushed the Raymond Boulard family estate towards organic methods; hence it is that some of their parcels were already converted and certified to be organic. With his daughter Delphine, he can now take this movement towards the most natural champagne wines possible to its logical conclusion. Their goal is to see the whole estate certified organic. Francis Boulard and his daughter Delphine belong to a family of winegrowing winemakers for 6 generations… doubtless more. The oldest member of the family who could be traced was born during the French Revolution in 1792.
