Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 11, 2017 - This shows some flor like oxidative qualities around the edges like lighter Jura which is to be somewhat expected with a Bouchard Champagne. There is also some toast and stone fruit on the nose, the latter with air. The palate is a bit austere and shows better on night two. There is also some grippiness that dries the palate out a bit which is rare in a Champagne. This could be closed a bit though it doesn't feel like a wine that needs to unfold a lot. The fruit concentration just really isn't there. It's a nice wine but certainly not for Bouchard can command. It's also different in ways that a non wine geek may not approve of. Would be best with interesting cheeses likely.
