Tasting notes
The NV Champagne Grand Cru Bouzy Blanc De Noirs Brut reveals a golden/copper color and is another fleshy offering from winemaker Philippe Secondé, opening to ripe and perfumed aromas of freshly baked croissants, orange marmalade, golden plums, and honeycomb. It fills the palate with a pillowing mousse and a well-balanced and broad finish and retains a ripe core of acidity. This is a strong showing to enjoy now or over the next 5-6 years. Disgorged in October 2022.

From grand cru Bouzy. Philippe Secondé tells me that Bouzy Pinot Noir can be quite heavy but with this cuvée they want to capture the freshness of the harvest fruit. Smoky nectarine, toast topped with slices of dark-golden peaches. This is nice. Round and full of robust, juicy, generous fruit topped with toasted granola. The bubbles are sparse but not aggressive and seem to pop with marshmallow and spiced sweetness in the mouth. (TC)
100% Pinot Noir from Bouzy, 35-year-old vines sustainably farmed without chemicals. Cover crops. Dosage 6 g/l. 18,000 bottles. Mushrooms and grapefruit. Quite woodsy, quite savoury with a note of truffle through the white citrus. Acacia blossom dipped in lemon honey. Real weight and showy breadth in the mouth. Masses of bubbles, but not astringent.

100% Pinot Noir from the grand cru vineyards of Bouzy . Light nose and a bit sweet and loose-textured. (JR)
