Another Bouchard stunner. This is a new one to me, I believe a cuvée of young vine selection massale Pinot noir

2011 vintage. April 2015 disgorgement. 100% Pinot Noir (Blanc de Noirs) from a small parcel of 15 rows planted with 10 different clones. Only stainless steel tank. No makeup on this wine. Pure and crystal clear expression of the healthy fruit. Not exactly complex, but beautifully crafted. Perhaps after a full year of bottle age (since disgorgement) it will tell a different story.

Powerful but not overpowering. Layers of apples, apricot and some sweeter notes of honey as well. Good acidity and a long finish. Opened the bottle and enjoyed throughout our lunch. Paired it with the the fish dishes to start and even the two tomato sauce based pastas. Stands up fine to the bigger dishes.
