Champagne Blanc de Noir " La Parcelle" 2001



I was very excited to open Champagne Inflorescence Blanc De Nior "La Parcelle" since D and i enjoy Inflorescence Bland De Nior Brut; This is supposedly the 'vintage' and flagship creation of Cedric Bouchard.


But sad to say i was quite dissapointed when i had it during dinner few days back.


La Parcelle has similar style to the NV brut but it was much more delicate.


Nice beautiful light colour, very very fine bubbles, not many.

Nose- nice fresh nose.with a tint of mushroom, and fruits

Palate- much more less intense, subtle as compared to the NV brut, floral ( dark flower and fruit), moderate length in the palate.


it lost all it's bubble after 10 minutes and tated like a so so white wine after slightly warm.


Maybe my expectation was too high, maybe i left it to breathe just a bit too long after the first sip,maybe i shouldn't had it with food.


A search on the internet , reviews indicated that this is a very delicate champagne , fine ,little bubbles best to have it on it's own .



maybe i should try again?
