Francis Boulard is a champagne producer whose champagne house is relatively young and at the same time, as a child of a winemaking family going back 6 generations..
He founded the domain in 2009 together with his wife and daughter after his brothers wanted to pursue a different career and as a result their father's winery, Raymond Boulard, was given up or partially sold. From the beginning, Francis Boulard focused on the implementation of organic viticulture.
Today, the company is certified organic and partly biodynamic, 3 hectares of vineyards are cultivated, divided into 1.6 hectares in the Saint-Thierry massif, 0.5 hectares in Mailly (both belong to the Montagne de Reims) and 1.2 Hectares, which are the historic heart of old family estates, are in the Vallée de la Marne.
This distribution allows the winery to take advantage of three key terroirs, the heavier, richer soils of the Marne, which support Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay; the siliceous limestone soils of the Saint Thierry massif and the Mally Pinot Noir.
The vineyards are cultivated organically and methods of biodynamic viticulture are used, such as the use of biodynamic preparations (plant teas or similar) or the use of the lunar calendar to determine important work steps such as bottling or batonnage (stirring up the yeast in wooden barrels).
Francis Boullard's champagnes have a very vinous style and are dosed little or not at all.
Delphine Boulard took over from her father in 2016 and mainly changed the process of fermentation and maturation, which has since been carried out in used Burgundy casks and a few large casks (Foudres), while her father used a wider range of wooden cask sizes for these steps.
The wines are separated according to origin and variety, fermented spontaneously, i.e. with the naturally occurring yeasts in the cellar and vineyard, in order to preserve and develop the individuality of each location and each terroir as best as possible.
