About this Item

Grand Vintage Brut 2008
4 (1 x 4) 750ml
Boizel, founded in Épernay in 1834 and still family-run by the sixth-generation Roques-Boizel brothers, is a traditional grower-négociant house sourcing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the finest Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims crus. Its Grand Vintage is a vintage-dated cuvée made only in the best years. 2008 was a superb, classic Champagne vintage of high, racy acidity and outstanding ageing potential. Alison Napjus from Wine Spectator gave it a rating of 92.

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

Critics Ratings

"A skein of fragrant spice unwinds through flavors of plum, pineapple, smoked almond and pink grapefruit zest, firming the well-cut backbone of acidity and the lively, lacy mousse. Offers a crisp, minerally finish." - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Dec 2019)
