Another amazing bottle from this great producer. I have yet to had a bad bottle from Cedric Bouchard. While not quite up there with 2015 Boloree, it still delivered the goods. Plenty of stuffing from the 100% Pinot Noir, but balanced with the elegance that this producer always seems to deliver. This has got to be the new grand daddy of Grower Champagne movement - taking over from a certain Selosse.

Phew, this wine is not ready. Decanted for let breathe for 5-6 hours and still it wasn't open for business. Very dark and dense fruit, chocolatey, you could certainly feel the alcohol. Nowhere near ready. But underneath it all you could feel the quality. This will be a great wine one day - but keep it for another 5-10 years.

As always, simply amazing. Intensity of fruit combined with elegance and grace.
