WINE ADVOCATE 94 POINTS-"Bouchard's NV Blanc de Noirs Côte de Val Vilaine (2020) is a worthy follow-up to the 2019, and time will tell which is the better of the two vintages. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of pear, green apple, crisp stone fruit and bread dough, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise, with a beautifully refined but intensely flavored palate that's finer-boned than the richer, more powerful 2019 rendition. Long and penetrating, this is another brilliant wine from Cédric Bouchard."
VINOUS WINE MEDIA 93 POINTS-"The 2020 Blanc de Noirs Val Valaines is pretty rich and heady. The Val Valaine is typically appealing in its youth; this is a rare vintage that I would be tempted to cellar such is its richness. Dried pear, spice, crushed flowers and chamomile amplified. I don' think I have ever had a Val Valaine with this much sheer density. What a wine! Disgorged 2022."
