Cedric Bouchard

Where radical terroir expression meets Champagne tradition, Cédric Bouchard's Roses de Jeanne redefines luxury sparkling wine from the Aube's Côte des Bar. This revolutionary producer transforms single parcels into extraordinary champagnes that challenge every convention of the region. Named for his grandmother, Roses de Jeanne represents Bouchard's uncompromising vision to showcase forgotten terroirs through meticulous viticulture and revolutionary winemaking.

From just 1.09 hectares in 2000, Bouchard has expanded to nearly 4 hectares of prime kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils in Celles-sur-Ource, mirroring Chablis geology.

His philosophy breaks Champagne's blending tradition - each cuvée represents a single parcel, single vintage, and often single variety, creating unprecedented terroir transparency. Bouchard's signature wines include 'Val Vilaine' from Polisy vineyards and 'La Bolorée' from steep 20% slopes at 250-meter altitude, each expressing distinct soil characteristics through extended lees aging and minimal intervention techniques.

These ultra-premium champagnes command investment-grade prices among collectors seeking authentic terroir expression. Production remains deliberately limited, with each bottle representing Bouchard's obsessive attention to vineyard detail and harvest timing.

His wines earn critical acclaim for their mineral precision and age-worthy structure, positioning Roses de Jeanne among Champagne's most coveted producers. The domaine operates by strict appointment only, offering intimate tastings in Celles-sur-Ource where Bouchard personally guides visitors through his revolutionary approach to champagne production.

These exclusive experiences reveal the profound connection between kimmeridgian soils and bottle expression, showcasing why leading sommeliers consider his wines essential representations of Aube terroir. Limited allocation availability makes advance booking essential for serious collectors. Roses de Jeanne represents the future of artisanal champagne, where terroir transparency and winemaker vision create bottles worthy of the world's finest cellars.
