Champagne Cedric Bouchard Roses de Jeanne Cote de Bechalin, Champagne, France, 2014, 750ml

Seductive in a tight way with concentrated citrus, apple, autolysis and more biscuits than bread. Pretty full-bodied, fresh and wonderful mouthfeel with tight stone minerality that connects with concentrated grapefruit, red slightly coarse apple peel, juicy citrus, lime peel and tougher bread baking. Long tight finish that shows that this needs some time to get out. Lovely acid lives here. Great thing!
