The 2013 Blanc de Blancs La Bolorée is marked by elevated ripeness and vibrancy, the hallmarks of this very singular Champagne vintage. Rich and tropical, the 2013 could use a bit of time to soften, and yet it is so inviting today. “We had a very long harvest in 2013, Cédric Bouchard explains. “Start and stop. We began on September 22 and finished on October 4, just before a big rainstorm. We also had a lot of rain in early August, but no mildew. When that happens, the last phase of ripening can be very fast. Usually, we gain 1% in potential alcohol per week during the last 3-4 weeks of the season but in 2013, it was more like 1.5% each week, kind of like 2006.”

Varietal

Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Region

Champagne

The beautiful rolling hillsides of the Champagne region of France have, for hundreds of years, been producing many of the world's most famous wines. The sparkling white wines to come out of Champagne's prestigious wineries have conquered the world, and are drank in celebration across the globe. The vast majority of the region is under vine, and grows predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varietals, which are usually blended together by master wine-makers in order to make their recognizable and widely loved produce. The north-easterly region of Champagne has a relatively cool climate, and quite a lot of rainfall, making it far from ideal for ripening grapes. However, the presence of heavily forested areas in the region helps maintain a balanced temperature, and the generations of expertise the wineries hold clearly produces excellent results in spite of the climatic problems.

Wine Advocate

From a late harvest spanning the final days of September into early October, the 2013 Blanc de Blancs La Bolorée, disgorged in April 2017, stands as a stylistic counterpoint to the 2012. It opens with notes of peach, white currant and pear mingling with pastry and a hint of yellow cherry plum. On the palate, it’s medium- to full-bodied and taut, with a deep, concentrated core of fruit, lighter structure, considerable tension and ample chalky extract, culminating in a long, intensely saline finish. Among the wines with the lowest pH in the range, it’s more electric than the fuller-bodied 2012 tasted alongside, though also a touch less harmonious.

Winery Notes

Very old and rare Pinot Blanc from a 0.217 hectare lieu-dit known as La Boloree. Bouchard was initially uninterested in the parcel, but it landed in his lap after he drew the shorter straw in a dual between growers. Today, it is perhaps his most cherished site. Extremely limited production.
