Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 31 Mar 21
Fleshy and expressive, the 2011 Blanc de Noirs Les Ursules is drinking very well today, offering up aromas of orange oil, pear, peach and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, textural and succulent, it's a giving, attractively fruit-driven rendition of this cuvée, demonstrating what Bouchard can achieve even in a challenging year.

Champagne

Champagne, exclusively from France's Champagne region, is synonymous with luxury and celebration. Made primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, it undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating its signature bubbles. Flavours range from crisp green apple and citrus to rich, toasty notes of nuts and honey. Yeast contact in the bottle contributes to pastry and brioche notes, which are a key part of good quality Champagne. Top producers include Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Krug.
