Champagne Boizel Joyau 2012 (750ml)
Champagne Boizel Joyau 2012 (750ml)
Golden straw with a refined, persistent mousse, Joyau de France 2012 opens with a rich, layered nose—baked apple, citrus marmalade, toasted brioche, and hazelnut, lifted by hints of white truffle and chalk. The palate is deep and harmonious, combining the breadth of Pinot Noir with the elegance of Chardonnay. Flavours of poached pear, candied citrus, and roasted nuts unfold over a silky, vinous texture. Gentle oak ageing contributes subtle spice and warmth. The mousse is creamy, acidity bright, and the structure quietly powerful. The finish is long, savoury, and saline, echoing with pastry and mineral tension. A mature, expressive vintage Champagne—refined, generous, and beautifully composed.

Aged for 15 years on its lees, this mature Champagne is toasty, sheding its bright fruitiness while gaining a richer, more developed and nuanced character. Almonds and spice are partnered with intense acidity, resulting in a beautiful wine that is ready to enjoy now.

Bright gold. Pungent, deeply scented bouquet evokes peach nectar, poached pear, anise, brown butter and smoky minerals. Broad and densely packed, with a velvety texture and powerful orchard and pit fruit flavors that pick up a toasty element with aeration. Distinctly rich yet surprisingly lively as well, finishing with strong mineral cut and excellent floral persistence.

This is the firm's top selection of pinot noir (65 percent) and chardonnay, a portion (10 percent) vinified in oak, the wine aged 12 years on the lees. The opulence of the 2000 vintage comes through in this wine's golden color, and the long aging shows in its elegant, toasty red-fruit notes. Fully mature, this is a wine for people who appreciate an oxidative style of Champagne.
