Boerl & Kroff

Boël & Kroff is a Champagne producer, founded by Patrick Sabaté, Michel Drappier and Stéphane Sésé. The inaugural vintage from the house was released in 1995.

The Champagne is sourced from three plots of old vine Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier all located in the village of Urville. Here, 'calcosol' soil types composed of hard limestone and marl impart a distinct minerality to grape juice and wine. This combined with a south-facing slope creates ideal terroir for viticulture. In the winery, the entire vinification process is slow with extended ferments and aging; recomended cellaring for Boël & Kroff Champagne is over a decade. The use of sulfur dioxide as a preservative is kept to a minimum.

In addition to using quality ingredients, the Champagne House only produces in a good year of harvest – currently there are only a few existing vintages: 1995, 1996, 1998, 2002 & 2006. Only 3000 bottles are produced per vintage (usually in Magnums). Each bottle has its own code, uses 18K gold material for the cap (which is also coded), uses among the world’s most expensive cork and is packaged in lacquered wooden boxes. The Champagne principally uses Pinot Noir blended with Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The secondary line is called Champagne B de Boërl & Kroff which is available in regular 750ml bottles and is also only produced in good vintages, including 1997, 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2012.

Boël & Kroff is apart of the The Spirits Curator portfolio of brands which includes Frapin Cogna, Villa Alvor and Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte within its holdings.
