Description

It is only in the best years that Champagne Louis Roederer makes a Brut Vintage from a blend of 70% Pinot Noir (mainly from the Grand Cru village of Verzenay) and 30% Chardonnay, which is then aged for a minimum of four years. The subtle bouquet, on the first nose, opens out gradually to reveal spring-like notes of fresh citrus fruit (lemon tree rather than lemon fruit) combined with warm, almost smoky, mineral aromas, followed by notes of lightly toasted almonds, one of the signs of the ageing in oak foudres.

Louis Roederer Champagne

When he inherited the Champagne House in 1833, the aesthete and entrepreneur Louis Roederer took a visionary approach to enriching his vines, aiming to master every stage of the wine’s creation. He forged the wine’s unique style, character, and taste. The Louis Roederer House has remained an independent, family-owned company and is now managed by Frédéric Rouzaud, who represents the seventh generation. The cuvées of the House of Louis Roederer are the fruit of patient work with fundamental ingredients.
