The 2020 Blanc RDJ.N.03 is the latest in the series of experimental Champagnes from Cédric Bouchard. As always, Bouchard intentionally does not divulge any information on this wine, as he wants tasters to approach it without any preconceived notions. In the glass, the RDJ.N.03 is floral, airy and lifted. White flowers, mint and white pepper lend notable aromatic presence. If I had to guess, I would say this is a Blanc de Noirs from Creux d'Enfer as the two wines bear some similarities, especially texturally. Disgorged: April 2024.
