No blending, no shortcuts. Just site, vintage, and variety. Below is a breakdown of the key wines you’ll encounter from this producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"432\" data-start=\"415\" data-section-id=\"rr1f\"\u003eUR Les Ursules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"570\" data-start=\"486\"\u003eThis is the core wine in the lineup and often the entry point into Bouchard’s world. Sourced from a single vineyard in the Aube, Les Ursules is 100 percent Pinot Noir and delivers a balance of precision and depth. It tends to show bright citrus, orchard fruit, and a strong mineral backbone with a clean, structured finish. While it is the most accessible bottling stylistically, it still carries the full signature of the producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"952\" data-start=\"927\" data-section-id=\"a8cz0p\"\u003eVV Côte de Val Vilaine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1058\" data-start=\"1014\"\u003eVV stands for Vieilles Vignes, or old vines. This parcel produces wines with more concentration and texture, driven by older Pinot Noir vines. Expect deeper fruit, broader structure, and a longer finish compared to Les Ursules. It remains precise and focused, but with an added layer of power that makes it highly sought after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1369\" data-start=\"1350\" data-section-id=\"14u3ua0\"\u003eCôte de Béchalin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1414\" data-start=\"1371\"\u003eA more limited and harder to find bottling. Also based on Pinot Noir, this site often produces wines with a slightly more lifted aromatic profile and a refined structure. It can feel a touch more delicate compared to Val Vilaine, while still maintaining depth and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1668\" data-start=\"1650\" data-section-id=\"lbxtqj\"\u003eLa Haute-Lemblé\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1726\" data-start=\"1670\"\u003eOne of the rare Chardonnay based wines in the portfolio. This Blanc de Blancs offers a completely different expression, showing more linear acidity, citrus, and chalk driven minerality. It highlights Bouchard’s ability to translate his philosophy beyond Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1953\" data-start=\"1943\" data-section-id=\"1q3gjsl\"\u003eBolorée\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2000\" data-start=\"1955\"\u003eAn ultra rare bottling made from Pinot Blanc. This is one of the most unique wines in Champagne, both for the grape variety and the extremely small production.
