Cédric Bouchard left a career as a sommelier in 2000 to found Roses de Jeanne, working tiny parcels of vines in Celles-sur-Ource, in the Aube district of southern Champagne. Rather than blending across sites and vintages in the traditional Champagne style, Bouchard bottles each of his plots separately, treating them more like single-vineyard Burgundy crus than typical grower Champagne. His approach, built on organic farming, low yields, and minimal cellar intervention, has made him one of the region's most closely watched producers.

Les Ursules comes from a single parcel of less than one hectare, planted entirely to Pinot Noir on the shallow, chalky soils of the Côte des Bar. The grapes are harvested by hand and traditionally foot-trodden, then fermented with native yeasts, largely in stainless steel, before aging on the lees. The wine is bottled with no dosage added at disgorgement, letting the fruit and terroir speak without any softening sweetness.

The 2017 shows aromas of quince, red currant, and fresh bread, layered over a taut mineral core. On the palate it is concentrated yet lifted, with fine, persistent bubbles and a long, saline finish. Pair it with raw shellfish, cured ham, or a simple grilled fish.

"he 2017 Blanc de Noirs Les Ursules is superb, mingling aromas of pear, mandarin and stone fruit with hints of fresh bread, pastry cream and iodine in an inviting mélange. Full-bodied, layered and fleshy, it's a concentrated, chiseled Ursules that's built for the cellar, with racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. While the reputation of the 2017 vintage in Champagne isn't great, you wouldn't know that from tasting this brilliant cuvée. As readers will remember, Les Ursules was the vineyard with which Cédric Bouchard began Roses de Jeanne, and he notes that of all the wines in his range, it's always the highest in acidity, the slowest to ferment and the slowest to conclude its malolactic fermentation."
