Had this with our appetizers at a steakhouse and this bottle didn’t last long at all. Notes of green apple, cherries, bread, yeast, almond, and lemon. Felt like the perfect amount of dosage (though I was informed there is no dosage in these wines) - perfectly balanced, med+ acid and a long finish. Really enjoyed by the table.

Bubble still lively but not disturbing.
Pure nose, it is floral and on white fruits like almond, a little coconut and lychee.
The mouth has a creamy but frank attack at the same time. The juice is magnificently pure, always with this mix between jasmine and the white fruits described on the nose. Aeration will bring out slightly more evolved candied aromas. Impeccable balance with a magnificent freshness that elevates the wine. Crystalline and chalky finish which unfortunately lacks a bit of length for my taste to perfect a high-end overall picture.
Excellent, too bad that the length in the mouth is a little disappointing to pass a course, especially since the prices on the creations of Cedric Bouchard have experienced a big increase in recent months. (1150 views) | | | Tasted by SH Wu on 2/3/2023 & rated 95 points: This wine was singing out of the bottle. Ripe, concentrated orchard fruits are backed with a chorus of layered acidity. Like with many other Bouchard wines, this one hits you hard with its fresh intensity.
However, as a member of my table describes it, this wine felt like a firework. Dazzling, but quick to fade. Drink within 30 minutes of popping - the wine quickly falls apart after. Apparently this is a trait that exists for boloree even when you drink it at a younger age?
This is the perfect bottle to bring if you want a pop and pour champagne that would impress at a bottle share with 6 people - the perfect audience size to enjoy the fireworks together.

(1267 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 11/16/2022 & rated 95 points: Off restaurant list. Beautiful and fruity, exuberant, foamy, lighter palate, floral, touch of lemonade n, well made Pinot Blanc. 2012 vintage shining. (1505 views) | | | Tasted by viniferatu on 10/2/2022: beautiful stuff, no toast, no nuts, just layer upon layer of gorgeous fruit, some candied, some fresh and tart, citrus, apples, stone fruits... a little something honeyed and floral... subtly pithy and chalky on the very long finish... I am tempted to say that this is in its plateau, but who knows, as it is still so lively and fresh (1063 views) | | | Tasted by LW31 on 5/28/2022: April 2016 disgorged. Really precise, crystalline fruit. Quite a subtle wine that unfurls slowly over several hrs. I was expecting a bit more power and so paired it with the wrong dish. Needs to be savored quietly (1024 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 9/28/2021 & rated 92 points: Really killer with about an hour of air. Terrific concentration and depth of orchard fruit with an energetic and vibrant bead. Still so young with upside from here. (1446 views) | | | Tasted by jviz on 7/20/2021 & rated 94 points: This wine showed extremely well today. Precise and yes, vinous, with lots of dry extract from the skins. The vin Clair would taste something like sauv blanc. Quite linear, chiseled, and I thought youthful in profile. Hopefully the mousse will hold up long enough for the wine to mature! (1421 views) | | | Tasted by glou.sf on 10/23/2020 & rated 96 points: Ordered off the list at Passionfish. Really gorgeous nose of lemon, tart apricot, minerals, and green apples. Super interesting and more white wine like than Champagne. On the palate, there is good acidity and nice mousse with small bubbles along with flavors of apples, chamomile, and a hint of peach. Long finish. Outstanding wine, wow! (1633 views) | | | Tasted by Mrbuzz on 10/2/2020 & rated 97 points: This wine was mesmerizing! 100% Pinot Blanc, no dos...a wonderful creamy fleshy fruited wine, yet laser focus and brightness...in absolute perfect balance and beauty. Tarted orchard fruits...vibrant fresh squeeze of lemon and tangerine...pretty and exotic florals...plenty of crushed minerality creating a nice salt to the sweet...mouth coating pillow soft honey almond leesy mousse. Was such a joy to drink to the end...even thought about getting another bottle! (1604 views) | | | Tasted by Voodoo_Champagne on 3/16/2019: Creamy delicious nose, taste soft and elegant, pure Pinot Blanc Champagne is so great, my last bottle. (2353 views) | | | Tasted by 5laton on 12/15/2018: East Bay Burgundy Group - Holiday Dinner Party: Perhaps opened too young, but I found this pleasant if limited in spectrum. And thus my long history of failing to grok the Bouchard wines continues. (1760 views) | | | Tasted by soyhead on 12/15/2018: East Bay Burgundy Group - Holiday Dinner Party (Chez R&G): very round with a nice yeasty body and hints of anise on the finish. 100% pinot blanc, no dosage, my first time having this and it has piqued my interest (1683 views) | | | Tasted by Vinum Cultura on 4/1/2018 & rated 95 points: Warm, spicy and vinous nose, lovely balance and supporting backbone for the yellow-toned fruit on the palate. Extraordinary champagne made from 100% Pinot Blanc, will benefit from a few more years in bottle. (1693 views) | | | Tasted by Bakerbd on 11/18/2017 & rated 95 points: Intense tropical fruit but on a lithe frame. Incredibly rich for a no dosage wine. 100% old vine pinot blanc!! (1903 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).Pinot Blanc Varietal character (Appellation America)La Bolorée 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 |
