The NV Blanc de Noirs CĂŽte de Val Vilaine (2021) offers up aromas of pear, blanched almonds, white peach, lime zest and white flowers, mingled with subtle yeasty top notes reminiscent of a lambic beer. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and vibrant, with a tangy, cool-vintage profile and a refined lower-pressure mousse, it's a lovely wine, even if it can't quite match the purity of Bouchard's last few releases.
