L'or D'Eugene Brut Blanc de Noirs

Smells like puff pastry and powdered sugar and browned apple core, 3 days on a desk. Alltogether gorgeous aromamaxxing.

Rich, opulent, bracing acid, and a prick of sugar.

Lovely. Kyle said he smelled a rubbery or oily note, but I think that was just the carbonation…? I didn’t notice it. — 4 months ago

Vieilles Vignes de Pinot Noir Ambonnay Brut Grand Cru Blanc De Noirs Champagne

I am generally not a huge fan of Champagne unless it is exceptional which this is. I have always enjoyed the Blanc de Noirs style as well. Mid copper in colour. Plenty of chalky minerality on nose and palate. Fine mousse- small persistent bubbles - 72 months on lees. 100% Pinot Noir. Also aromatics of citrus and mouldy apple. The next night just as good with fewer bubbles. Much cheaper than Krug’s Clos d’Ambonnay for a similar experience I would imagine although I haven’t shelled out the considerable dosh for one of the Krug’s. — 7 months ago

Roses de Jeanne Brut Blanc de Noirs

Third rating for this: started at 10 degrees , and warmed up to around 15-18 in a warm 29 degrees tropical Singapore. Was fresh, crisp, lemon-like at first, followed by zesty mandarin orange flavours that finally matured to mellow honey apricots. Best of all coloured like the upcoming Chinese New Year - perfect gold. — 5 years ago

Inflorescence Brut Blanc des Noirs Champagne 2010

Mature
Small tight bubbles
Dusty yellow fruit with almonds and some hints of cellar age on the nose

The taste is light fruit flavors of bruised apple and pear, lemon cream, and brioche. Not clearly BdN as I didn’t pick up any red fruits

This comes in an elegant, soft package with a bit of creamy texture. Age has softened this. Some would love the elegance but others might find it past it’s prime.  I preferred this with more intensity and focus but this is very pleasant to drink.
I found a couple of bottles hiding in my cellar. Ideally I would have checked in more frequently to follow it’s development. Many think grower champagnes are most odeal in the 3-8 year window of bottle age. When do you prefer them generally?

Nice. I’ve not tried his champagnes with significant age on them. Wish I could find his champagnes more often!

Cedric Bouchard’s wines have definitely become more difficult to find as more people have discovered them.
I have been purchasing since the 08 vintage. This was the bottle with the most age I have tried so far
