Cédric Bouchard來自香檳釀酒世家，他於西元2000年成立自己的酒莊，葡萄園大多分布在Aube省Côte de Bar產區，土質以黏土及石灰岩組成，因緯度較香檳其它產區低，有著較溫暖的微氣候，非常適合Pinot Noir的生長。

Cédric最初僅有1.05公頃的葡萄田，後來擴充至1.37公頃，是香檳區超小型酒莊，而品質卻超越許多精品香檳，在國際級酒評家的評分中也屢屢拿到高分，法國的RVF及Gault et Millau兩家酒評誌也分別於2005年及2008年頒給Cederic香檳區最佳釀酒師頭銜。

Cédric Bouchard是香檳區極少數完全滿足”單一年分””單一品種””單一地塊”三個要素釀酒的奇葩，要知道由於氣候寒冷，香檳地區每年葡萄成熟度不一，多數的香檳廠為維護每年產量，多以混和年份、混和地塊為基本考量。

以下是Cédric小小葡萄田的秘密：

五個單一地塊(lieu dit)個別種植單一品種

Les Ursules – 種植Pinot Noir

Les Creux d’Enfer – 種植Pinot Noir

La Haute-Lemblé – 種植Chardonnay

La Bolorée – 種植古老品種Pinot Blanc

Presle – 種植Pinot Noir，依年份產量僅1000瓶左右。

以上單一地塊皆分開釀造、裝瓶，且僅於好年份出產香檳，因此我們能依據上述資料，在看見酒標上地塊名稱同時知道葡萄品種。

其中在Presle這塊地，Cédric種下了10多種瑪撒拉選種*及克隆選種*的Pinot Noir，因基因之中些微的差異造就了這款酒無與倫比的美味，也是香檳區僅此一家的作法。

除了以上五塊單一園，自2014年左右Cédric將父親留給他的另外兩塊田也併入自家酒莊，同為Roses de Jeanne系列，分別為Val Vilane及Cote de Bechalin，皆種植Pinot Noir，總計2.4公頃。

Céderic Bourchard擁有的地塊不多，又堅持單一年份釀造，因此每年產量僅從300瓶到3000瓶不等。對了，這極低產量除了要滿足以上三種要素，還得加入一個變數 – Céderic秉持自然動力法(Biodynamic)原則種植葡萄，更加花費人力心力，難上加難，於是，如果能喝到Roses de Jeanne系列香檳，真是很有緣份了 ! 

*瑪薩拉選種 : Selection Massale，中文也稱作混和選種，是將多株優秀的不同基因荖藤枝重新種回葡萄田，以保留葡萄田多樣性。

*克隆選種 : Clone，用單一母株的枝作為基礎，如此一塊田所有葡萄藤的基因皆相同，產量較穩，品質也較單一。

$13200 限量3瓶 VM94+ WA97

...soaring from the glass with a blaze of dried white flowers, pear, citrus rind and warm biscuits, complemented by a delicate top note of petrol as the wine unwinds. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and incisive, with an ample and enveloping core underpinned by a racy spine of acidity and concluding with a long, expansive finish. Unfortunately, this cuvée—produced from a 0.12-hectare parcel planted with five different massal selections of Chardonnay—is one of the domaine's rarest, but this is a superb effort at the peak of its powers. by William Kelley
