I just got from Polaner the 3 Bouchard champagnes that they carry: Inflorescence, Inflorescence Parcelle and Roses de Jeanne. I have never tried any of them before. Any suggestions as to whether or not I should wait to open them, decant, etc...?
 
I have tried soem bottles of the Inflorescence and the Rose de Jeanne. They are great things indeed. Very vinous Champagnes with less bubbles and much lower yields than the norm. Yes you read that right - Champagne and low yields in the same sentence. Where's the world going?

Because of their vinousness I think they are very good opened now. They probably deserves to be aged though.
 
When were they disgorged? If less than six months ago, wait, wait, wait.

They are very vinous pinot noir only champagnes. Not my cup of tea, but then I (heretic) don't like Egly-Ouriet either. Most people love them.

Inflorescence can be drunk younger (it's made from extremely young vines, btw).
 
I've had mixed experiences with Egly-Ouriet, none very recent.

But then I don't swill as much champagne as some people I could name.
 
Not that anyone said so, but I just though I should clarify that Cedric Bouchards wines are nowhere near the style of Egly-Ouriet. A little about the making of Cedric Bouchards wines:

-All wines are single-vintages
-All wines are from single-vinyards in the Aube
-All wines are from single grape-varieties
-All wines have very low yields
-All wines have no dosage
-All wines are only aged in steel. No barrels
-All wines have low atmospheric pressure (Usually around 4 instead of the norm around 6)
