Francis Boulard Estate: Introduction to the Francis Boulard Champagne house, a new estate which nevertheless has a long history. Francis Boulard owes his love of vines from his grandfather who cultivated his small estate using natural methods, organically and following the lunar calendar.
The Vines: Characteristics of the vines of Francis Boulard champagnes. The movement towards organic cultivation goes back several years. Father and daughter are now determined to go to the logical conclusion of their organic methodology, by cultivating all their vines biodynamically.
Making Champagne: Vinification methods used to make Francis Boulard champagnes. Francis Boulard is adept at comparative vinification of individual plots. He now vinifies all his champagnes in barrels taking the lunar calendar into account.
