History
Champagne Boërl & Kroff’s story began over 20 years ago.
A passion for beautiful bottles and a great friendship are at the origin of this champagne which became unique and unparalleled.
In the middle of the 1990s, Patrick Sabaté and Stéphane Sésé, friends since childhood, launched a major challenge: To create a champagne with a distinct aroma and with a complexity and intensity known only in the best wines of Burgundy and Pomerol.
The story begins in Aube, near Urville. Michel Drappier helps them rise to this challenge by offering the two childhood friends, the fruit of three high quality plots planted mainly with Pinots Noirs.
Patrick and Stéphane were eager for a champagne with a most distinct aromatic expression, with an unparalleled DNA, that would give them the same sensory astonishment that they had experienced upon first tasting the best red Bordeaux and Burgundy. The creators of the Boërl & Kroff Champagne emphasized the intense and subtle characteristics that are the strength of wines grown with patience.
Boërl & Kroff pushed the existing boundaries with the help of Michel Drappier to develop a champagne that is both balanced and powerful with a very unusual aromatic profile that greatly exceeded their expectations.
The first Boërl & Kroff magnum emerged in 1995.
An elixir that has become one of the greatest wines falling within a hedonistic approach.
A champagne recognised by the greatest experts...
Christie’s was right about recording Boërl & Kroff to its largest sales catalogue. Big wine enthusiasts quickly followed by turning the brand into a legend in the world of champagne with the highest auctions recorded in 2015. Boërl & Kroff is appreciate from collectors, wine connoiseurs and now investors.
From the beginning, Patrick Sabaté and Stéphane Sésé were in search of a Taste. They had the desire for a new sensory experience, unprecedented, different and unique. For that it was necessary to define this Taste, to write the score and find the conductor.
Smooth, onctuous and generous, an acidity specific to the finest wines, the Champagne Boërl & Kroff is composed by a palett of very complex flavors, rich and above all, an outstanding length in the mouth. Such a tiny bubble that we might forget sometime that we certainly taste one of the greatest wines from Champagne of all times. A wine that can envelop both the mouth and the mind and that lingers a very long time.
This challenge at first seemed counter-current or even unrealistic. This is when Michel Drappier, "the magician of Urville" intervenes and explains to Patrick Sabaté and Stéphane Sésé, that to achieve this it will be necessary to gather that which Champagne can produce better and to attempt the unprecedented.
