2012 Roses de Jeanne / Cédric Bouchard Champagne Blanc de Noirs Cote de Bechalin
7/3/2022 - heymamalow wrote: 92 Points
Cedric Bouchard is the gold standard for champagnes for me, grower or grand marque regardless. This bottle displayed amply why this is so: A hedonistic bouquet of honey, lanolin, limestone complemented by boisterous fruit on the palate that still manages a good degree of verve with underlying acidity.
So winemaking is top notch. My only asterisk on the above and not a gripe at all is that this vintage flirts a little too much with the sweet end of things. I prefer my champagnes in a drier style.
Dont get me wrong, Cedric Bouchard remains a firm favourite. I will be glad to have this anytime. The friends that I shared this with thought this was something special. I don't disagree.

2009 Cappellano Barolo Piè Rupestris Otin Fiorin (Gabutti)

My first Cappellano and i get the hype. Classic Barolo nose and palette. Add a few notches up the ladder in terms of its elegance. Slow oxed for 5 hours on first day and still went strong on Day 2. So long life ahead of it yet.

Gave it a test drive since i have a few bottles of this in the cellar. Can certainly see its potential. Floral, mineral with structure. Maybe revisit in 3 years?
