Description
A champagne with excellent weight and balance exuding delicate fragrances of flowers and beguiling red berry and plum fruits with hint of nutmeg and a mineral imprint from the calcareous-clay soil. Made from just 1.45ha of 35yo vines, and yields of just 26hh now, it was cuve aged and bottled with a very low 17g/l for the secondary fermentation, which gives a low pressure and gentle mousse perfect for the weight of the champagne. Disgorged 04/20 – Non dosé.
Cédric Bouchard has quickly earned a sky-high reputation and his micro-production of champagnes are some of the most sought after in all Champagne. Born into a winemaking family, a passion for wine was awoken in him when he worked as a sommelier and caviste in Paris, and it was only after this in 2000 that he decided to come back to Celles-sur-Ource in the Côte des Bar region and start to make champagnes. His experiences in Paris, tasting wines from many other regions had a profound effect on him and right from the start he decided to work in a manner that’s more Burgundian than Champenois.
