Roses de Jeanne (Cedric Bouchard), Champagne Cote de Val Vilaine, 2019

The Roses de Jeanne Côte de Val Vilaine 2019 is an extraordinary Blanc de Noirs crafted by the renowned winemaker Cédric Bouchard. Made entirely from 100% Pinot Noir, this Champagne comes from a single 1.5-hectare parcel in the Val Vilaine lieu-dit. The vines, averaging over 35 years in age, are cultivated with meticulous attention to detail to reflect the purity and individuality of the terroir. Bouchard’s philosophy of low yields, single-vineyard expressions, and minimal intervention results in Champagnes of unparalleled focus and precision.

On the nose, this wine reveals a complex bouquet of pear, green apple, honey, and almond paste, layered with notes of fresh bread, white flowers, and mirabelle plum. The palate is vinous and finely textured, with a satiny mouthfeel and a vibrant core of concentrated fruit. Its incisive acidity and pronounced minerality lead to a long, saline finish that underscores its depth and elegance.

This Champagne pairs beautifully with seared scallops, roasted chicken, or creamy cheeses like Brie or Chaource. While approachable now for its freshness and vivid character, the Roses de Jeanne Côte de Val Vilaine 2019 has the structure to age gracefully over the next decade, offering even greater complexity with time. It is a testament to Cédric Bouchard’s artistry and the unique expression of the Val Vilaine terroir.
