Cedric Bouchard makes some of the most singular, vinous and terroir expressive wines in Champagne which is even taken to the next level in his prized and ultra rare cuvée, La Bolorée. 2015 was a particularly great vintage for Bouchard and every cuvée I’ve tried has been fantastic. La Bolorée, 100% Pinot Blanc from 50+ year-old vines on limestone soils, is powerful, detailed and multidimensional showing layer upon layer of rich orchard fruit, white flowers and salty minerals. Just my 4th time having this bottling, but it is always a special drinking experience. We did not decant, but drank from Zalto Burgundy which somehow didn’t break on a boat 😅

18/20 (95/100) Неожиданно парфюмный и цветочный аромат с нотами спелых красных и чёрных ягод, шоколада, морёной древесины, ванили и гвоздики. Умеренная тельность, высокая кислотность, бархатистые танины. Насыщенное во вкусе. Сила и элегантность. #dfwe2019 — 5 years ago

I completely forgot to post this. My brother from another mother Kirk Alexander uncorked these 2 Absolutely Phenomenal 100 point beauties for us to enjoy just because I came over!!!!!! ! Damn., I’ve got to go to his house more often!!!!!! All kidding aside., we were celebrating Veronica’s (his beautiful wife) birthday and what a truly special Evening.it was. There’s nothing better than uncorking a special bottle with friends that have become like family.
We love you Veronica!!! And put up with Kirk just because of you🤣😜🤣

Blend of 84% Cab Sauv, 10% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec and 3% Cab Franc sourced from estate-owned vineyards, aged 24 months in 100% new French oak. Deep Ruby, dark fruits, spice, complex nose. On the palate flavors of rich berry fruits, spice and vanilla oak, well structured harmonious wine. Fine soft rich tannins, long finish ending with fruit, tobacco and sweet earthy tones. Tasting great, young and juicy, should easily last another couple of decades+ in the bottle. Wow! — 3 years ago

18.5/20 (97/100) Насыщенный, дурманящий, парфюмный аромат спелых ягод чёрной смородины, ежевики, гвоздики, шоколада, ванили, графита и хлебной корочки. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, обволакивающими танинами. Чёрная смородина задаёт тон во вкусе. Продолжительное послевкусие. Молодо и великолепно. #dfwe2018 — 6 years ago

This was my contribution to the 100 point Collectors dinner. Probably the softest and most balanced of the bunch. A love the Bordeaux style bottle - an abundance of earthy and fruit notes - I'd like another please! — 8 years ago

9.1

A classic. 100% Viura from the Zaconia vineyard, located right outside López de Heredia’s winery in Haro. Fermented in ancient oak vats with indigenous yeasts and aged in used barrels for four years, followed by another 6 years in bottle. Complex nose with oxidative notes. Chamomile, flowers, beeswax, lemon curd. Austere on the mouth, with great acidity and freshness. Long, subtly salty finish. Amazing — 4 years ago

Crushed blueberry and blackberry , violets, and crazy amounts of super peppery beef jerky. All turned up to 11. Bombastic fruit and a savory side. What’s not to love. This is the vinous 100 pointer. — 5 years ago
