Why it matters
The producer
Jean-Marie, Roseline, Christophe and Céline Crépaux manage Champagne Borel-Lucas through family collaboration. The house is an independent grower in Champagne, making cuvées from a range that includes Chardonnay and Meunier. Its named wines include Blanc de Blancs, La Réserve, Art Divin, Munificence, Le Rosé and Grand Cru bottlings.
The house's range moves between different grape compositions and label categories. La Réserve places Meunier alongside Chardonnay, while Blanc de Blancs identifies a Chardonnay based style. Grand Cru names mark a vineyard classification used on selected bottles.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
Champagne Borel-Lucas is based in Étoges, in Champagne. Champagne on a label identifies sparkling wine from the region under its appellation rules. The house's bottles include Blanc de Blancs and Grand Cru names, combining grape style with vineyard classification.
The Côte des Blancs also appears in the house's range through Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Sélection. Côte des Blancs is a Champagne subregion associated with Chardonnay, while Grand Cru identifies the highest vineyard classification within the regional system.
In the cellar
Vineyards and cellar
The vineyard holding covers 14.7 hectares. Champagne Borel-Lucas is listed as an independent grower, a producer category tied to vineyard ownership and estate wine production. The available facts establish the vineyard scale and grape compositions, but do not establish ageing durations for individual cuvées.
Wines to know
The range in view
The range is organized through grape composition, colour and vineyard classification. La Réserve is made from Meunier as the dominant grape allied with Chardonnay. The Blanc de Blancs is 100% Chardonnay. The listed wines also include Art Divin, Munificence, Le Rosé, Soleil d'Or Grand Cru 2015 and La Sélection Grand Cru 2018.
Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Sélection is an assembly of three grand crus from the Côte des Blancs, using Chardonnay from the 2013 and 2012 harvests. The range therefore includes both a Meunier led reserve cuvée and Chardonnay focused Grand Cru selections.
