Raymond Boulard Champagne, Les Rachais, Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut

Chardonnay, 12%abv, La Neuville aux Larris, Champagne, France. Extra Brut without dosage, (natural sugar > 3 g. / L), Harvested in 2002. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations carried out in small oak barrels used 6 times previously. Lees are beaten up into the wine, depending upon the character of the vintage, every 10 to 12 days. Neither fined not filtered. Bottled on a "fruit day" (even if the careful and meticulous work which we carry out in the vines throughout the year is indubitably more important than merely harvesting and bottling at the right time moment in the lunar cycle). Blending: Wine entirely from the year concerned. No blending with aged reserve wines. The taste? It‟s unbelievable light, delicate, completely enduring mousse. This is THE WINE for a very special occasion, or special someone.
