Bouzy Blanc de Noirs
Confectionary. Green, expressive. Deep slatey minerality. Long, fruity acid expression. Deep gold hue. Excellent.

Sep 2nd, 2019Once again, great mouthfeel, but not as complex, or as much length, as the best from Bouzy.

May 22nd, 2018Disgorged 11/16: this is something else, pure lemon zest, extremely young, would like to see it in another yr, low dosage, believe it's 4 or 5, think it needs a decant for an hour, as underneath all that it drinks like 1er Cru reductive burgundy. Outstanding.

Aug 7th, 2016Quite ripe and leesy. But the restrained dosage (5 g/L) keeps it from coming across too heady and opulent. I dig.
