For the price, I expected a lot more. So did the rest on the table. Probably too young as it did improve with air, but I’ve had youthful (and cheaper) Champagne’s that performed far better than this. Started off with heaps of pears, bruised apples, and almonds on the nose. The palate was concentrated, juicy and almost too fruity for me (apples and apricot for days!). Air brought about more cut and chalkiness, as well as some floral notes. In short, I expected more depth. I suspect I’m just not a fan of the vintage. Time will tell. — 3 months ago

Expected this to be at least a little developed, but nope. Which was nice, not looking for tertiary notes in this wine. Light and refreshing. — 5 months ago

At its prime. I would not keep this any longer. Touch oxidation out of the gate. Plenty of tannins left but fruit on the downside. Quite dusty, orange zest mostly. Hint plums. Crushed marble. Hint celery. Very tart cranberries. I was quite excited about the other bottle i popped this year. This one is not as good. — 6 months ago

Wow, this was stunning! Aromatics and texture are off the charts. Do yourself a favor and buy a mag of the 14. Pinot / Gamay. — 9 months ago

2020. I believe this is my first Romorantin based wine, so I read through the tasting notes here and was excited to try it. Rich orchard fruit, good acid, and definitely get the oxidized sherry-like notes some mentioned. Paired with snacks while watching the Masters. Not quite their Pimento Cheese Sandwich, but my goat cheese stuffed roasted red peppers and black olives went great with the wine! — 2 months ago

Bright and punchy and zesty with a punch of marzipan and driving lemon. Good minerality. Punchy. A bit early to tell. But great bones. From mag. — 4 months ago

Golden yellow color, fuller body, stone fruit and citrus on the nose. Flavors of nectarine, citrus, nuttiness and brioche. Probably would be better the next day. — 2 months ago

9.2

This wine is a great bargain and also shows how Bouchard has ramped up their quality in recent years. Pale lemon color with pronounced aromas of acacia, lemon, green apple, pear, wet stone, vanilla, clove, smoke, and a bit of honey. All is conveyed on the palate as well with a beguiling, creamy texture and a long finish. This is a lovely wine that is approachable now but will improve for another five or 10 years. Lovely. — 8 months ago
