Cédric Bouchard has become one of Champagne's most revered artisan producers, crafting some of the region's most distinctive single-vineyard wines under his Roses de Jeanne label. Rejecting blending in favour of expressing one vineyard, one grape variety and one vintage, his Champagnes have become cult favourites among collectors. Les Ursules is the domaine's flagship cuvée, produced from a tiny 0.97-hectare parcel of old-vine Pinot Noir in the Côte des Bar. Bottled with minimal intervention and produced in minute quantities, it is a profound, terroir-driven Blanc de Noirs that perfectly captures Bouchard's philosophy of purity and precision.

"The 2010 Blanc de Noirs Les Ursules is all about textural breadth and volume. Gracious, silky and impeccably polished throughout, the Ursules stands out for its exceptional balance and harmony. White flowers, pears, mint and almonds meld into darker tonalities that become more prominent on the finish, where more red, Pinot-inflected nuances take center stage. This is the first release in which Les Ursules is a declared vintage Champagne."  Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Nov 2014
