Histoire du domaine
Born into a family of winegrowers in Celles-sur-Ource, Cédric Bouchard initially worked in Paris as a wine merchant and sommelier. He returned to the Aube region in 2000 to set up his own production business, Roses de Jeanne. In the early days, he cultivated, in particular, the ‘Parcelle des Ursules’ plot, planted with Pinot Noir, and had just over one hectare of vines at his disposal. At the same time, his father continued to tend vines, the wines from which were initially sold under the ‘Inflorescence’ label. Over the following years, Cédric Bouchard gradually took over or incorporated some of these family plots into his business. Since 2014, the cuvées have been marketed under the single name Roses de Jeanne. The estate vinifies its wines separately by plot, grape variety and vintage, producing single-vineyard champagnes. Cédric Bouchard remains the owner-winemaker and oversees the winemaking process himself.
Val de Vilaine
Val Vilaine is a single-plot champagne made from Pinot Noir from the Val Vilaine lieu-dit in Polisy. Initially marketed under the Inflorescence range, it is now labeled Roses de Jeanne. It is crafted following Cédric Bouchard's approach based on a single plot, a single grape variety, and a single harvest.
- Origin of the cuvée name
- The name comes from the lieu-dit Val Vilaine, in Polisy, from which the grapes originate.
- Cuvée creation year
- 2003
- Style of the cuvée
- A vinous and fruity Blanc de Noirs, generally supple, generous, and accessible in its youth, featuring a fine mousse, a clear expression of Pinot Noir, and zero dosage vinification.
- Position within the range
- An entry-level single-plot cuvée in the range, more immediately approachable than the estate's most confidential selections.
Histoire de la cuvée
In 2003, Cédric Bouchard launched a second wine, Inflorescence Val Vilaine, using grapes from his father's vineyard. After taking control of these vines, he gradually abandoned the Inflorescence brand; from 2014 onwards, Val Vilaine has been marketed under the Roses de Jeanne label.
