Les Ursules Blanc de Noirs 2005 - Cédric Bouchard (OWC, mag., 1.5 l)

Tasting notes

"The 2005 Roses de Jeanne Blanc de Noirs Les Ursules is tight, focused and layered, with mineral-infused layers of fruit that drive towards a finish of crystalline purity and finesse. Today the wine is incredibly young, but also full of promise. There is a gorgeous precision to the fruit and an eternal finish that makes it impossible to resist a second taste, but this is a baby and readers should do everything they can to wait a few more years. Bouchard describes 2005 as a less than ideal vintage characterized by alternating spells of heat and rain. "
