93 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Made from 80% Pinot and 20% Chardonnay, with the base 2019 and the rest reserve wine from the past couple of years, the NV Champagne Grand Cru Bouzy Les Parcelles is expressive and fruit-forward on opening, with notes of cherry blossom, fresh peach, and honeycomb. With zero grams per liter dosage, there’s no lacking for ripeness and freshness. Long on the palate and quite inviting, it’s going to be wonderful drinking over the coming 8-10 years. Drink: 2023-2033. (11/17/23)"
92 points Tom Hewson (Decanter): "Based on the 2019 vintage, this blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay parcels in the Paillard's home village is a perfectly expressive and complete entry-level cuvée which feels very much part of the broader range. With red apple, anise and spice, a little greengage and subtle, creamy, crusty bread aromas, it's a cuvée with enough structure to sit at the dinner table, but enough presence and brightness to refresh, too. Zero dosage. Drinking Window: 2024-2027. (4/23/24)"
Producer notes: "Les Parcelles offer plenty of Bouzy character by delivering a wine of depth and creamy richness. Flavors and aromas of toasted bread, pear nectar and honey unfold upon the palate. The finish is all smoke and lees and lingering toastiness. In combination, the wine is generous, complex and multi-faceted with broad appeal. Dosage: 1 gram per liter. 70% base wine harvested primarily in 2017 with 30% reserve wines. Les Parcelles is a precise expression of Bouzy terroir, combining a rich ripeness with chalky finesse. This cuvée is composed of 70% pinot noir and 30% chardonnay. Aged sur lie 4 years."
