2011 | Francis Boulard | Les Rachais Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature

Rich nose of fully ripe white fruit, citrus, pastries and of dried fruit with a slight hint of honey. In the mouth, the wine is mouth filling, with a fine texture. Powerful and long.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2011 Les Rachais Brut Nature is pure Chardonnay that was fermented in barrels (malolactic included) and was disgorged in December 2017 and dosed as Brut Nature. The golden-yellow colored wine opens with a pure and very complex bouquet that displays highly intense iodine, chalk and ripe fruit flavors. On the palate, this is a beautifully fine, fresh and elegant Champagne with a persistent, very complex and salty/iodine-flavored finish. The combination of finesse, elegance and mineral freshness along with complexity and terroir expression is tremendous here. The unfiltered 2011 Rachais will make hardcore Jura and Burgundy fans pretty happy.

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.
