Champagne Brut Nature Solera 'Petraea' Francis Boulard

The Brut Nature Solera “Petraea” Francis Boulard is an intense and generous Champagne. Broad and rich on the palate, powerful yet capable of offering a sip of great freshness, the Champagne is built on a structure where finesse and character move in unison, thanks to the excellent work done by Francis first in the vineyard and then in the cellar. A label that has now reached the peak of its organoleptic journey, and which is therefore recommended to be uncorked without hesitation: it will conquer you.

The “Petraea” Solera signed by the maison Francis Boulard is a Brut Nature Champagne made from pure Pinot Noir grapes, cultivated in a plot of land nicknamed “Le Murtet”, within the Massif de Saint Thierry. The subsoil is mainly calcareous and sandy and the vineyard is managed using exclusively organic methods. The must ferments spontaneously for the first time in large oak barrels thanks to the presence of indigenous yeasts, also undergoing malolactic fermentation. The secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, following the production criteria of the Champenoise Method. The Champagne remains on the lees for 5 years before being disgorged and bottled again, without any liqueur d'expédition added.

This Brut Nature Solera “Petraea” Francis Boulard Champagne flows in the glass with a brilliant golden color, crossed by a fine and persistent perlage. The nose is concentrated, bursting with broad and layered olfactory notes, where white-fleshed fruit alternates with honey and spicy hints, while in the finish there is a clear echo of pastry. On the palate, it has good structure, with a decisive and velvety sip at the same time, which envelops the palate with a very fresh mineral wave. It closes with a finish that has excellent persistence. A French bubble endowed with great aromatic complexity, perfect for Champagne experts who want to indulge in a top-level label.
