Cédric Bouchard is going his own way in Champagne. On his mini-estate Roses de Jeanne (what a lyrical name!) of just under three hectares, he drastically reduces his yields, harvesting just a quarter of what is permitted, but creating the basis for great wines. The other side of the coin: only a few people will be able to enjoy these extraordinary wines. Bouchard's vinification is spectacularly uneventful, each vineyard is bottled separately, resulting in wines that speak unadulteratedly of their origin and terroir and provide the connoisseur with unfathomably deep experiences that one can philosophize about for hours.
