Cedric Bouchard Roses de Jeanne 'VV-Cote de Val Vilaine' Blanc de Noirs, Champagne, France 2023

Cédric Bouchard’s Roses de Jeanne “VV – Côte de Val Vilaine” Blanc de Noirs 2023 is a pure, terroir-driven expression of Pinot Noir from old vines in the Côte des Bar. Produced from a single lieu-dit and bottled with zero dosage, it is intensely vinous yet precise, offering aromas of red apple, pear skin, citrus zest, and subtle floral notes layered over a chalky, mineral core. The palate is taut and focused, with fine mousse, savory depth, and a long, saline finish that underscores Bouchard’s minimalist philosophy and the vineyard’s distinctive character.
