  This wine opens with soft notes of dried flowers and a subtle hint of apricot. On the palate, refreshing flavors of lemon tart and lively grapefruit shine through with great intensity. Its fine bubbles add elegance to each sip. The finish is creamy with a touch of brown sugar. This RdJ is the oldest I've tasted, and it's in a perfect place now, with potential to age gracefully.

  Delicate nose which oscillates between tropical fruits, citrus fruits and chalk.
  
  Very rich mouthfeel with a lovely enveloping touch, with aromas of apricots, honey and mineral salts. The juice is very dense, carried by a beautiful acidity although bitters destabilize the wine somewhat in the second half of the palate to finish with a beautiful intense finish, as chalky as it is tasty and good length.
  
  Excellent.

  Bonkers good, easily the best champagne I've had this year. The citrus/mineral tension is incredible, the finish goes on for days, acidity and depth and the beginning of some tertiary complexity. Beautiful.

  Really beautiful, delicate nose with lemon notes, grapefruit, brioche, a bit of toast, and minerals. High acidity with more lemon notes, tart fruit, apricot, and crushed rocks. Long finish. This was an absolutely excellent, complex wine. The oldest Cedric Bouchard I’ve had so far and great to see the wines age beautifully.

  Cedric Bouchard La Haute Lemble 2008.
  Gogget april 2012.
  Starter ut med mye kalk på nesen, litt sitrus og svake florale toner.
  Med luft drar den mer mot røde epler og etterhvert eplekjernehus.
  Flott om enn noe beskjeden.
  Så klarer jeg ikke helt bestemme meg hvor den befinner seg i livsløpet...?
  Nydelig avdempet mousse.
  Konsentrert slank frukt med pirrende syre og mineralitet.
  En real oppkvikker for en noe sliten kjøpmann.
  Brer seg veldig flott ut og kjennes nesten som tanniner i munnhulen.
  Saltaktig lang finish, hvor man først kjenner modent eplepreg før den strammes veldig opp med syre og mineral-eksplosjon.
  Nydelig vin.
  Er fortsatt usikker hvor denne er på vei, og om frukten takler den høye syren.
  Uansett - alltid en sann glede å smake CB sine viner. 91p
