Why We're Buying
While Cédric Bouchard founded his eponymous label in 2000, his winemaking techniques date back centuries. Cédric Bouchard Roses de Jeanne Les Ursules contains 100 estate-grown fruit and hand-picked and hand-sorted grapes, which he crushes by foot. Additionally, he only vinifies the first press juice and never fines, filters, or doses this blanc de noirs. The result is a pure and enticing Champagne that wins over the mind and heart.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2014 Blanc de Noirs Les Ursules is the first vintage of this cuvee that's spent long enough on its lees to be vintage dated. Unwinding in the glass with a lovely bouquet of crisp orchard fruit, citrus oil, beeswax and dried white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, vinous and intense, with a racy spine and chalky back-end grip that's allied, as usual, with rare ripeness and amplitude. It's so lively and vibrant that I feel confident in anticipating two decades' longevity. (WK)
