Wine sourced from a 21-acre parcel on chalk called La Bolorée, which contains Pinot Blanc vines planted in 1960. This south-facing vineyard is technically in the neighboring commune of Merrey-sur-Arce, but it lies in the same valley as the vineyards of Celles-sur-Ource. It’s extremely rare to find parcels of old-vine Pinot Blanc in Champagne, and rarer still to find them vinified and bottled separately.

Cedric Bouchard 2009 Roses de Jeanne Blanc de Blancs, La Bolorée, Champagne AOC
Rating: 95
Bouchard's 2009 Roses de Jeanne Blanc de Blancs La Bolorée is painfully young and almost austere. A huge, powerful wine, Bolorée is all about structure and potential. Pear, white apple, flowers and crushed rocks all meld together in the glass in an inward Champagne that is going to need a few years in bottle. In my view, the Bolorée, 100% Pinot Blanc from 50+ year-old vines, is Bouchard's greatest wine.
