The 2008 Blanc de Blancs La Bolorée is also beginning to drink brilliantly, unfurling in the glass with notes of pear, blanched almonds, beeswax and dried white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's deep and structured, with prodigious levels of chalky dry extract and a long, intensely saline finish. This is tauter and more electric than the fuller, more enveloping Ursules of the same vintage—as one would expect—and if anything, it still comes across as a touch young.
