Francis Boulard – Les Rachais Rosé 2009: A Biodynamic Pearl in Rosé Champagne

Francis Boulard, a master in biodynamic wine production, has created with Les Rachais Rosé 2009 an exclusive rosé champagne that balances finesse, depth and the uniqueness of the terroir. From a single field and a remarkable vintage, this wine offers an unforgettable experience.

Unique Terroir and Vintage 2009

Les Rachais Rosé originates from a single field with biodynamically cultivated vines on limestone-rich soil, which gives the champagne its minerality and structure. The 2009 vintage was characterized by heat and sun, which resulted in ripe grapes with deep aromatic complexity.

Boulard is known for letting nature guide the process, and this wine is made without filtration and with minimal intervention, ensuring an authentic expression of the terroir. The champagne has undergone long bottle aging to achieve a sublime balance between fruit, acidity and depth.

Tasting notes

• Colour: An elegant salmon-coloured shade that glows in the glass and suggests both finesse and intensity.
• Aroma: Complex and seductive with aromas of wild strawberries, cherries and rhubarb. Underlying notes of spices, brioche and a subtle mineral freshness give the nose depth and elegance.
• Taste: Full and harmonious with a creamy mousse that carries the taste notes of red fruits and a touch of citrus. The long bottle aging adds complexity with notes of roasted nuts and delicate spices. The aftertaste is long, characterized by lively acidity and mineral precision.
