Sometime last year I posted about a particular Champagne House, it was in fact not even my own post but an article I shared. A follower who is obviously friends with the House’s winemaker, tagged him in the comments to which he responded that their champagne was only for the “serious”.

Champagne Boizel holds a prominent spot on the famed Avenue de Champagne in Epernay, and I was privileged to be hosted by the charming Florent Roques Boizel, CEO and 6th generation Boizel at the Maison.
