Cedric Bouchard, Roses de Jeanne Haute Lemble Vintage:2016 (from 11 different lieux-ditsIs there a better way to start lunch than with Cedric Bouchard's 2006 Blanc de Blancs La Haute Lemble and a dozen oysters? I doubt it. The wine was absolutely beautiful, even a touch reserved, but the trademark Bouchard elegance was on full display. Bouchard's Champagnes remain some of my very favorite wines on the planet. This bottle was stunning. Antonio Galloni
