Cedric Bouchard Roses de Jeanne 'UR-Les Ursules' Blanc de Noirs, Champagne, France 2021
Roses de Jeanne “UR‑Les Ursules” Blanc de Noirs is a benchmark, single‑vineyard Champagne that exemplifies purity, precision, and terroir expression. Crafted entirely from Pinot Noir in the Côte des Bar, it delivers aromas of red apple, wild strawberry, citrus peel, and delicate floral notes, underpinned by a pronounced chalky minerality. The palate is bone‑dry, linear, and intensely focused, with vibrant acidity, fine mousse, and a long, saline finish that feels more Burgundian than traditional Champagne. Minimal intervention and low dosage highlight the vineyard’s character, making Les Ursules one of the most sought‑after and intellectually compelling grower Champagnes in the world.
