Cedric Bouchard, Roses de Jeanne Haute Lemble Vintage:2016 As one might reasonably expect

As one might reasonably expect this is notably more elegant than the old vines Gevrey with its ripe but cool and airy array of essence of black cherry

but there are some gorgeous peach and citrus notes that flourish on the finish

This needs to add depth but even so it’s very promising

(89-91)/2017+

with smoked meat and a touch of VA

Cedric Bouchard, Roses de Jeanne Haute Lemble Vintage:2016 As one might reasonably expectIs there a better way to start lunch than with Cedric Bouchard's 2006 Blanc de Blancs La Haute Lemble and a dozen oysters? I doubt it. The wine was absolutely beautiful, even a touch reserved, but the trademark Bouchard elegance was on full display. Bouchard's Champagnes remain some of my very favorite wines on the planet. This bottle was stunning. Antonio Galloni
