Cédric Bouchard

Roses de Jeanne La Bolorée Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne 2015

Cedric Bouchard makes some of the most singular, vinous and terroir expressive wines in Champagne which is even taken to the next level in his prized and ultra rare cuvée, La Bolorée. 2015 was a particularly great vintage for Bouchard and every cuvée I’ve tried has been fantastic. La Bolorée, 100% Pinot Blanc from 50+ year-old vines on limestone soils, is powerful, detailed and multidimensional showing layer upon layer of rich orchard fruit, white flowers and salty minerals. Just my 4th time having this bottling, but it is always a special drinking experience. We did not decant, but drank from Zalto Burgundy which somehow didn’t break on a boat 😅

Family Estate Grown St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

9.3

This 09 was upgraded to 100 points by Lisa Perrotti formerly of Robert Parker in 2020. I didn’t taste a 💯 & the first time she & I have been this far apart.

This 09 was velvety, smooth, beautiful & elegant with nicely ripe fruits. But, it really lacked the depth & complexity I have come to expect from this producers bottling.

Touched into 94 with a few sips. Decanted a 1 1/2 hours & enjoyed over the next two hours.

@NepentheBigSur If you haven’t been there, well worth the time to visit.

Brut Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay 2017

Last night we opened the Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs Brut Vintage 2017. Méthode Traditionelle, 100% Chardonnay from Napa Valley Calastoga, CA.

On the nose there is lemon, lemon curd, brioche, buttered popcorn and nice minerals.

On the palate there is lemon, lemon custard, almonds, apricote, cream and minerality.

The wine is medium bodied with a crisp, clean, complex mouthfeel, medium+ to high acidity and a long fresh vibrant citrus mineral finish. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend, please continue staying safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂
