Tasting notes
The 2010 Blanc de Blancs La Bolorée, disgorged in April 2014, continues to show beautifully, mingling aromas of pear, peach, lemon oil and pastry. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy yet simultaneously racy, it’s charming and textural, with a deep, concentrated core of fruit underpinned by lively acids and concluding with a long, saline finish. Demonstrative and profoundly complex, it’s marginally less complete than the 2012 and 2020 tasted alongside, though it's structurally closer to the latter than to the taut 2021.

The 2010 Blanc de Blancs La Bolorée is fresh, powerful and vibrant, almost surprisingly so. Citrus, orchard fruit and white flowers are some of the many notes that race out of the glass. The 2010 is brilliant, powerful and explosive from the very first taste. It has plenty of life ahead but is so expressive today. I really love the energy and vibrancy here.
As good as the La Haute-Lemblée is, the 2010 Blanc de Blancs La Bolorée is even better. The most reticent of these new releases, La Bolorée (Pinot Blanc) arguably has the most potential. Rich and layered in the glass, the Bolorée is a wine of pure vertical structure. Here the flavors and textures are bold, ample and all encompassing in their resonance. Hints of apricot, peach and white flowers open up over time, but only with great reluctance. The 2010 needs time in bottle, but make no mistake about it, this is an utterly magnificent Champagne that will mesmerize readers lucky enough to taste it.
