Champagne Cedric Bouchard Roses de Jeanne Le Presle 2011
Côte des Bar, Champagne, FranceFrom the cellar. Roses de Jeanne Le Presle is a BdN pinot noir from the lieu-dit Presle, from Cedric's holdings in the Côtes des Bars. This cuvée comes from 15 rows of 10 different Bourgogne clones coplanted in 2007, all massale selections, in the plot's organically farmed clay and Kimmeridgian limestone soils. The grapes were foot crushed and native fermented in stainless before heading unfined and unfiltered to 36 months sur lattes, bottled without dosage. Perfumed red fruit is laced throughout this 2011, led by wild red and white cherry, and fragrant raspberry, but buoyed easily by a fine, persistent lemon peel spire leading this through a lingering finish. There's a lovely chalky base to support, and a taut framework creating movement and energy through the lithe frame, ending with a lingering chalky memory. Such a complete wine, poised and pure and quietly confident. A joy to drink now. *Note the price below is for the current vintage in market (2020).Tasted: 30 May 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $575.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
