Tasting Notes

The 2014 Blanc de Noirs Côte de Béchalin is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with scents of pear, fresh bread, citrus oil, almond paste and crisp white peach. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and vibrant, with a bright core of fruit, brisk acids and Bouchard's typically pillowy, low-pressure mousse, it concludes with a saline, mouthwatering finish. In this vintage, one feels one's geographical and geological proximity to Chablis quite strongly. -William Kelley for The Wine Advocate 

The 2014 Blanc de Noirs Côte de Bechalin La Parcelle is bright, focused and tightly wound, all of which will serve it well in the future. I especially admire the tension and energy here. Readers should plan on cellaring the 2014 for at least a few years. It's an absolutely exquisite wine and a hidden gem in a range where the spotlight usually falls on other wines. Kirsch, plum, dried flowers, lemon peel and bright orchard fruit linger. No dosage. Disgorged: 2021. -94pts, Antonio Galloni for Vinous
