Cuvée Boujon d'avril
Symbol of a unique centennial know-how in Champagne, each cuvée is rigorously pressed by the family oak press «Darcq Flamain» dating from 1888. The fruit of a long-term work that will give all the subtlety and rarity to Joseph Desruets champagnes: a natural and subtle oxygenation accentuating the aromas and offering round and powerful wines. The cuvée Boujon d’avril is a white wine from our plots of Pinot Noir enjoying a southern exposure ideal for a greedy and fruity harvest.
