  Restaurant bottle. Pretty classic Bouchard - vinous with great acidity and elegance on the palate. Very primary in the flavor profile. Best as it nears room temperature. Bouchard’s are almost always enjoyable young but they really gain complexity with age. I’d revisit in 5 years or so.

  清新悠悠的白花香，带着清新的青苹果、白桃、雪梨以及柠檬味，有些飘忽，略带冰糖雪梨味，轻微蓬松的奶油面包、金属和矿物感，收尾以花香作结，行进线条感好，比较纤细。口感高酸，矿物感十足，形成线条构成修长的框架，青苹果、脆桃、酸柚和轻微青菠萝填充内里，清新爽口，有冲刷感，收尾中长。91-92/100

  A private lunch (Restaurant Europizza, Amsterdam, NL): Made with 100% Pinot Blanc from a single 0.217ha plot, disgorged 2022. One of the rarest wines from this diminutive estate. Ripe and spicy nose, initially a bit reduced but opens up to rich and complex aromas and flavours (stone fruit, citrus, flowers, toast, smoky gun flint), concentrated and vinous but light on its feet, gently nutty warmth, soft but refreshing acidity, gentle mousse, rounded yet precise, seamless elegance, balances minerally energy with ripeness, flowing and refined texture with the finest of bitters, dry and racy finish with excellent resonance and length. An exceptional Champagne.

  Sangiovese study, Volume II (Chicago, IL): I don't get this stuff. This seemed angular with some really odd notes that I'm going to attribute to the pinot blanc. Overall disjoint with a lot of sharp edges and a palate presence that feels dilute. Doesn't have much cut on the finish either. Odd bottle of champagne.

  First time trying any of the new releases (and new labels 😏) from Bouchard. Starting at the top with the super rare old vine 100% Pinot Blanc Lieu-dit, La Bolorée. 2018 has been an early approachable vintage across many regions, and La Bolorée although obviously young, is plenty giving with some air. It is its texture and density that stand out the most, really such an incredible mouthfeel. Vinous, ultra concentrated and incredibly elegant, a rightful Zalto Burgundy wafts its layers of ripe orchard fruit, citrus oils, bread yeast, white flowers, gun smoke and liquid rock minerality. Its textural palate keeps gaining in volume and intensity, and finishes long with a seamless balance of racy citrusy acids and minerality. To age beautifully, indeed.
