Love this Cuvée. Super aromatic for Champagne, with layers of rich orchard fruit, perfumed citrus oils and gun smoke. The palate is creamy and satiny, so textural and so giving. Such a singular, vinous Champagne and always a perfect example of Bouchard’s style. 2017 is already drinking beautifully. Best in a Burgundy glass. — 2 days ago

Was a tough side by side with the Initial, felt as though the low ATMs exacerbated the comparison. — 2 months ago

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. — a month ago

We had the 2010 Vintage on 11/4-5/23. A real good PN. Tastes of raspberry, strawberry and baking spice. Medium bodied. More fruit forward for a Burgundy. I spoke to Flavio at The Wine Watch. He tells me this wine maker produces wines more fruit forward than most Burgundies. I sensed this wine was more CA than FR. — a month ago
