Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs Vintage is a pure, tight, fine, brilliant wine. A length, a concentration that make it a simply delicious Champagne. 2016 Vintage comes from “La Cte” plot on the Grand Cru terroir of Avize.

TASTING NOTES

On the eye: Bright yellow hue with slightly green tints and bubbles that are soft, creamy, fine and delicate.

On the nose: The bouquet is precise and mineral with notes of ripe citrus fruit and white, almost vanilla-like blossoms (pollen) and notes of freshly harvested wheat and almonds. The freshness of the bouquet comes through in the form of minty and iodised aromas (sea spray) which slowly evolve towards warmer notes of smoke, hot butter and toast.

On the palate: The palate is creamy and soft yet concentrated on entry. The wine, underpinned by the delicate bubbles, unfolds majestically. It offers us the sensation of ripe, concentrated juice carried by an incredibly powdery texture with a distinctly saline finish. Oaky and smoky notes continue to draw out the wine, giving it extra length and concentration, an indication of its exceptional cellar-ageing potential. The finish is pure, refreshing and mouthwatering.
