Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Vinification without malolactic fermentation and the chalky limestone soils of Avize lend a saline, taut freshness that is the hallmark of the 2016 vintage.
Roundness
Partial ageing in oak casks (28%) and five years on the lees contribute a velvety, caressing texture without ever weighing down the line.
Depth
The concentration of the mid-slope terroir of the lieu-dit 'La Côte' expresses itself with intensity and depth, yet never feels heavy.
Length
The saline, luminous finish lingers at length, carried by a zesty freshness and a persistent chalky minerality.

TASTING NOTES

A luminous golden robe with green glints, threaded through with a fine, creamy mousse. The nose offers white blossom, lemon zest, a marine iodine note and the powdery chalk that is so characteristic of the Côte des Blancs. On the palate, the attack is caressing and silky; a saline tension draws the finish into a bright, zesty line of remarkable persistence.

About this house

Louis Roederer is one of the rare great Champagne Houses to have remained independent, founded in 1776 and passed down through the generations within the Rouzaud family. The owner of 240 hectares of vineyards, it controls an exceptional share of its supply from vine to glass.

Its parcel-specific Blanc de Blancs embodies the pursuit of precision that guides cellar master Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon: meticulous blending, minimal inputs, sustainably farmed vineyards, reserve wines aged in wood — all in service of the ultimate expression of Champagne Chardonnay.

Sa minéralité iodée et sa fraîcheur saline font de ce Blanc de Blancs l'écrin naturel pour des huîtres de pleine mer.

Les notes d'agrumes et d'herbes fraîches du gravlax répondent en écho à la vivacité citronnée et florale du vin.

Main course

Main course

La texture crémeuse du risotto et la fraîcheur végétale des asperges s'accordent idéalement avec la rondeur et la tension de ce Chardonnay de terroir.
