98 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2013 Blanc de Blancs La Bolorée is marked by elevated ripeness and vibrancy, the hallmarks of this very singular Champagne vintage. Rich and tropical, the 2013 could use a bit of time to soften, and yet it is so inviting today. “We had a very long harvest in 2013, Cédric Bouchard explains. 'Start and stop. We began on September 22 and finished on October 4, just before a big rainstorm. We also had a lot of rain in early August, but no mildew. When that happens, the last phase of ripening can be very fast. Usually, we gain 1% in potential alcohol per week during the last 3-4 weeks of the season but in 2013, it was more like 1.5% each week, kind of like 2006.' Drink: 2020-2031. (Mar 2020)"
95 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2013 Blanc de Blancs "La Bolorée" is from a south-facing 0.21-hectare plot planted with Pinot Blanc in 1960. Very delicate and fine in its bright fruit flavors, this is not a fruity Pinot Blanc but one that is pure and terroir-driven with exciting iodine flavors, a firm, compact structure and serious minerality. The 2013 is rich and intense, and its finish is very long, complex and salty. Tasted at the domaine in April 2018. Drink: 2020-2030. (Aug 2018)"
