Boizel: Vintage Champagne Tasting with West London Wine School

Wednesday 16 December 2015

,

Leading up to Christmas we have launched the perfect evening of decadent vintage Champagne spanning three decades with superb library stock back to 1989. If you would love to see how fine vintage Champagne can age then do not miss this evening! Our focus for the evening is on the excellent Champagne house Boizel, who was established in 1834 and has been a significant supplier of the Wine Society here in the UK for a number of years.

Champagne Boizel

Champagne Boizel was established by Auguste Boizel in 1834 and today, the company is still run by his descendants, Evelyne and Christophe Roques-Boizel, who oversee the time-honoured traditions that make the wine so very special. Creating fine Champagne is no easy matter and at Champagne Boizel, experience and intuition are the gifts that are used by the family to prepare each cuvee for the precious ageing time, which here is a minimum of 3 years in the bottle before disgorgement. Although Champagne Boizel own some of their own vineyards, the vast majority of the grapes are sourced on contact from small growers but, only from holdings in the Grand and Premier Cru vineyards. These are wonderful Champagnes and, although not so well known, certainly they represent some of the finest wines that the region has to offer.
