FEATURES
🏰Cédric Bouchard's Roses de Jeanne 'BO-La Bolorée' is a rare and unique Blanc de Blancs Champagne, made from 100% Pinot Blanc, an extreme rarity in Champagne, offering a 【distinctive and complex profile】. Cédric Bouchard is celebrated for his artisanal, single-vineyard, single-varietal Champagnes, focusing on purity and terroir expression. La Bolorée comes from a tiny plot of almost 50-year-old Pinot Blanc vines with a southern exposition in Celles-sûr-Ource. The wines are often described as impressively fresh, vinous, and polarizing, with a delicate complexity.
Expect an intense bouquet with 【lemon zest, grated orange peel, aniseed, and spicy bread aromas】. On the palate, it's direct with dark minerality, delicate acidity, and an impressive length with a citrusy and spicy aftertaste of ginger and allspice. Older vintages show notes of dried apricot, quince, and brioche. It's full-bodied, smooth, and creamy with a fine mousse and assertive toastiness.
🍴 Excellent with shellfish, crab, and lobster, where the wine acts like a squeeze of lemon. It also pairs well with light bacalhau (saltcod) dishes, chicken, and rabbit with white sauces. Its complexity also makes it suitable as an aperitif or with delicate appetizers.
🥂 Ideal for a sophisticated aperitif, a special seafood dinner, or a celebration where a truly unique and thought-provoking Champagne is desired. It's a wine for connoisseurs seeking something beyond the ordinary.
Serve chilled, around 8-10°C (46-50°F).
