La Haute-Lemblé is an 11.8-acre, south-facing parcel of Chardonnay in Celles-sur-Ource. This is a warm site, its ripeness further amplified by Bouchard’s low yields, and the sleekly powerful flavors of tropical and stone fruits are unlike anything found in the Marne.

Cedric Bouchard 2009 Roses de Jeanne Blanc de Blancs, La Haute Lemblé, Champagne AOC
Rating: 94

The 2009 Roses de Jeanne Blanc de Blancs La Haute Lemblée is quite a bit creamier and expressive than it typically is. White peach, flowers, spices and crushed rocks are woven together in a stunning Champagne. Even with all of its texture, the 2009 remains airy and light on its feet. I would give the 2009 a few more years in bottle, even though it will be virtually impossible to resist before then. This bottle was disgorged in April 2013.
