This needed just a little bit of air to get started, but it was absolutely gorgeous once it opened up into seamless tones of strawberries, baked apples, peach, jasmine, biscuits, hazelnuts, toast, pears, bing cherries, red flowers, and mineral notes. There is a bit more autolysis than I expected from a Cedric Bouchard, but this is far from an autolytic-driven champagne. The Medium bodied feel is polished and elegant with crisp, high acidity. This is a gorgeous Champagne that is chugging right along. This feels like it will age effortlessly for years to come, but it's a real delight right now as well.

Wines you should have bought by cases (San Shu Gong): Blinded. Disgorged 2019. Delicate with lovely aroma of white flower, peach. More expressive on the palate
