Champagne Boizel
Joyau 2008
As the quintessence of Boizel’s know-how, Joyau 2008 embodies the expression of the great terroirs from Champagne.
Champagne Boizel
- 60% Pinot noir
- 40% Chardonnay
10% vinified in oak barrels
Aged 14 years on lees
Dosage: 3g per litre
Vinification
Joyau is crafted exclusively from Premier and Grand Cru grapes: Pinot Noir grapes from Mailly, Cumières, and Chigny-les-Roses, and Chardonnay grapes from Avize, Chouilly, and Vertus.
Only first press juice is used to craft this very great Champagne.
After long ageing in the cellars, the wine is very lightly dosed in order to bring out the distinctive character of this great year.
Tasting
To look at, this wine has a sparkling gold hue with long-lasting little bubbles.
The bouquet opens up with a wide range of elegant and generous aromas.
It presents finely balanced hints of almond, frangipane, candied orange, and brioche.
On the palate, the wine is complex, with a beautiful intensity, supported by a silky, refined texture. And it delivers the elegant pastry notes promised by the bouquet. The richness of the aromas is combined with delicacy, and the fullness with freshness, in a dazzling finish.
Service temperature
10-12°CBottling
Food & wine pairing
Joyau 2008 is ideal for fine dining; pair it with a fattened Bresse chicken with girolle mushrooms, a braised suckling pig from Bigorre, a tajine with dried fruit…
