Others liked this more than I did; I'll admit to not really getting the Bouchard champagnes, and I found this a bit too strongly acid-driven for my taste. This has a bit more weight than other low-dosage Champagnes can have, but for my palate, the high acidity feels a bit off-kilter.

Fine, transient mousse. Botanical herbs, verbena, and citrus on the nose with an intensity that singes the nasal hairs. Light to medium body, dry, amazing penetration of lemon and orange peel carried by superb acidity and a quarry’s-worth of stone. A laser-guided Champagne bomb. I can hardly contain my excitement about this bottle. (1114 views) | | | Tasted by NostraBacchus on 10/1/2021 & rated 95 points: Showing much better on day 2 than 1. Notes of tonic, chalk, nuts, minerality, citrus, also some red berries. It‘s medium-full bodied, with medium mousse that is nice and slightly creamy, has medium-high acidity and good texture and mouthfeel. Good length. An excellent, fresh and tense Haute-Lemblé. (1314 views) | | | Tasted by Vas19 on 9/20/2021 & rated 93 points: Saline and mineral, with fantastic texture. Feels like this is still a baby, but already delicious. (897 views) | | | Tasted by maxima on 9/4/2019 & rated 91 points: Toujours un beau rendez-vous les Champagne de Monsieur Bouchard.
Bu dans une coupe Top Ten car M. Bouchard recommande fortement l`usage de coupe régulière plutôt que la flute
pour apprécier ses Champagnes.
Disons que ça a aidé car il semblait austère au début mais avec la coupe,
il se transforme rapidement, belle complexité, c'est vineux, sur les citrons et la craie,
Excellent encore une fois!
Il ne fait pas dans la norme mais plutôt un seul cépage d`une seule parcelle d`un seul millésime.
La grande majorité des maisons en Champagne font un assemblage de cépages, parcelles et/ou millésimes.
L`expression du terroir la plus fidèle possible! Pas facile à trouver, il axe sa production sur la qualité
(un seul pressage et aucun dosage) avec des rendements gardés très bas
volontairement plutôt que la quantité et ses parcelles sont assez petites. (2162 views) | | | Tasted by BenBlu on 2/21/2019 & rated 92 points: Very austere at first on popping the cork, chalky and super dry with a short finish. As it gained temperature and air over time it showed lovely notes of jasmine, very linear always with mineral chalkiness. (1497 views) |

Domaine Cedric Bouchard
Cedric Bouchard is an enthusiastic and talented young grower who established his own Champagne House, Roses de Jeanne in 2000. At the time he started out as the smaller owner to produce his own label, with a total 1.09ha under vines. He has since emerged as one of the most promising, small Champagne producers, based in Aube.
Centred on the Medieval city of Troyes, and well on the way to Burgundy, the Aube is a completely autonomous area, its Champagnes shaped by the distinctive clay limestone soils and , of course by the warmer microclimate. This is Pinot Noir country, and in the enigmatic and almost Byronic Cédric Bouchard it may well have found its champion. Youthful ideals have prompted Cédric to eschew the methodology of his family and to set out on his own, practising a viticulture which is in essence (although not formally certified) bio-dynamic.
There are two ranges; the Inflorescence wines are made from vineyards owned by Bouchard's father, while the Roses de Jeanne wines are made from vineyards Bouchard owns himself. In 2012, however, Bouchard assumed full control of his father's vineyard and retired the Inflorescence brand. When those wines come to market next year or the following year, all of the wines will be sold under the Roses de Jeanne label.
The cuvées include: Two Blancs de Noirs Brut (100% Pinot Noir): Les Ursules and Prelle from a densely planted, very low-yield single Pinot parcels and Inflorescence (from several small parcels of Pinot Noir), a Rosé de Saignée, Le Creux d'Enfer (100% Pinot Noir), La Bolorée (100% Pinot Blanc) and La Haute-Lemblée, Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay).Chardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeLa Haute-Lemblé On weinlagen-infoFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

France - When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of consistent quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:
Champagne - The French region of Champagne (including the cities of Rheims, Épernay, and Aÿ) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and wine-making traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range in sweetness ranging from an extra brut or brut 0, to the basic brut to demi sec to doux; some houses produce single vintage champagnes and others produce non-vintage (or incorporate wines/grapes of multiple vintages), often to preserve a specific taste; combinations of grape varietals; and colors, including a rosé. There are several sub-appellations, including the Valley of the Marnes river running from Épernay west, Massif de Saint-Thierry north and west of Rheims, Valley of the Ardre, the Mountains of Rheims (between Rheims and Épernay), Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne, and Côte des Bar in the South. Champagne wine only uses three grape varietals (cépages): Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.ChampagneThe vineyards of Champagne on weinlagen-info |
