100 points Wine Advocate "...he elected to select his favorite vat in the cellar and to disclose neither its origins nor encepagement, so everyone who drinks it will be effectively tasting blind. Given the provocative precept, it's no surprise that Bouchard has chosen to launch this new series with one of the finest wines he has produced to date, an expansive, vinous Champagne redolent of peaches, bread dough, baking spices, ripe orchard fruit, mango and toasted nuts. Full-bodied, fleshy and concentrated, it's layered and satiny, with a broad attack that segues into a seamless, layered and intensely vinous mid-palate, concluding with a long, resonant finish. This wine simultaneously explodes the concept of terroir and reaffirms it. (WK)" 97 points Vinous "The 2018 Blanc RDJ.N.01 is a new wine from Cedric Bouchard, the first in what will be a series of Champagnes (made like all the other wines) in which Bouchard only discloses the vintage and leaves everything else up to the taster to experience. It's a gorgeous wine, with hints of dried fruit, spice and dried flowers that recall Meunier in both flavor profile and textural feel. There's terrific saline-infused energy and brightness, which leads me to think this could also be a field blend. In sum, I have no idea what this Champagne is, but it is gorgeous! (AG)"
