Producer notes: "Les Parcelles offer plenty of Bouzy character by delivering a wine of depth and creamy richness. Flavors and aromas of toasted bread, pear nectar and honey unfold upon the palate. The finish is all smoke and lees and lingering toastiness. In combination, the wine is generous, complex and multi-faceted with broad appeal. Dosage: 1 gram per liter. 70% base wine, 30% reserve wines. Les Parcelles is a precise expression of Bouzy terroir, combining a rich ripeness with chalky finesse. Harvested primarily in 2017 with 30% of reserve wines, this cuvée is composed of 70% pinot noir and 30% chardonnay. Aged sur lie 4 years."
Not yet reviewed; 2017 base (XVII) version rated 92 points by William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Disgorged in July 2021 with one gram per liter dosage... based on the 2017 vintage. Offering up aromas of lemon oil, nectarine, freshly baked bread and hints of honeycomb, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and vinous, with a layered core of fruit, racy acids and a saline, bone-dry finish. Complemented by an elegant pinpoint mousse, this is a classy, impeccably balanced wine that transcends the challenging vintage. Drink: 2021-2035. (Jan 2022)"
