Boizel, Champagne (France) Brut 2002

($70, Vinum Wine Importers and Distributors):  2002 is a great year for Champagne.  And fortunately for us consumers, a few, like this one, are still on the market.  It’s earthy and intense, in a very good way, with cutting acidity that keeps it fresh and lively.  Its complexity comes, no doubt, from being recently disgorged, having stayed on its lees for a decade. 93 Michael Apstein Nov 27, 2012
