Cédric Bouchard La Haute-Lemblée Blanc de Blancs 2011

Muted aromatics give way to a compressed, tightly wound palate that lacks Bouchard's usual depth and radiance. The reductive character intensifies rather than blows off, dominating what should be brilliant Chardonnay from La Haute-Lemblée. Even this master couldn't escape 2011's challenges.
