Impressions

Thanks to its unique root system, the meuniers parcel “Les Boulard” planted in 1971 gives very expressive graves. This is how is born our cuvée IMPRESSIONS. This champagne is characterised by the natural colour of these strong meuniers and a beautiful verticality. IMPRESSIONS is each time grown in oak for one year, the idea is to balance the strong fruits of the wine with subtle smokey notes.
