Cedric Bouchard (Roses de Jeanne), Champagne, Cote de Val Vilaine, Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature (Base 2024)

Producer Cédric Bouchard established his estate in the southern Champagne village of Celles-sur-Ource, farming low-yielding parcels with meticulous organic methods. The wine originates from the 1.5-hectare Côte de Val Vilaine lieu-dit in Polisy, where vines planted in 1974 grow in rich clay-limestone soils. Made from a single harvest without dosage, it undergoes a cool, extended secondary fermentation under low pressure that produces an exceptionally delicate bead and intense vinosity. This bottling is ready to enjoy tonight, offering striking balance and a pure window into a dedicated grower's approach.
