  Blind. Quite sweet with enough oxidation to focus on the fruit. Cédric Bouchard BdN? Really sweet actually. 91

  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.

  popped the cork and gave it an hour of air. Still pretty shy. A little over two hours in and that beautiful RdJ fruit starts to slowly emerge. Acid is still a bit tense up from though. More air and good but not great at this point. Wait a few more years for this to re-enter its phase.

  @ Wu’s Wonton King NYC. I found this quite yeasty with a Apple strudel flavor profile. Very fine and thin bubbles made for easy quaffing. Quite nice, probably needs a few more years for the nuance to show through but already a goodie.

  thought I had tried this vintage right after release but don’t seem to have a previous note. Off the bat very closed. Gave the open bottle an hour before coming back. This is a richer version of Ursules than I’ve tried. The Bouchard fruit notes are there, but the lush-ness and creaminess takes over. Going to wait awhile before the next bottle.
