Characteristics and tasting advice for Louis Roederer's Blanc de Blancs 2016
Tasting
Color
Bright, the color of a beautiful golden yellow hue is adorned with beautiful reflections. The effervescence is remarkably fine.
Nose
The nose charms with its precision, revealing aromas of white flowers and citrus zest. An iodized freshness emerges, accompanied by subtle notes of powdery chalk. Upon aeration, smoky and almond touches are revealed.
Palate
Driven by the saline freshness of the limestones, this Blanc de Blancs Champagne stands out for its slender appearance, its straightness, and its brightness. Its caressing and powdery texture delicately harmonizes with a subtly integrated minerality into the matter.
A Blanc de Blancs champagne marked by precision and concentration
The property
Founded in 1776 in Reims, the Louis Roederer Champagne House has remained family-owned and independent. After more than 200 years of existence, the Louis Roederer House is still in the hands of the same family. Today led by Frédéric Rouzaud, who embodies the seventh generation of the lineage, the Louis Roederer House embodies the excellence of Champagne wines around the world thanks to cuvées crafted like a work of art.
The vineyard
With nearly 241 hectares of vines, the Louis Roederer House draws its strength from its extraordinary vineyard, made up solely of Grands and Premiers Crus in the Marne Valley, the Montagne de Reims, and the Côte des Blancs. A true mosaic of terroirs, the Louis Roederer House's vineyard is divided into 410 plots that reflect all the diversity of the Champagne soils.
The wine
Made from the "La Côte" vineyard, this Blanc de Blancs champagne is, by its precision and aromatic purity, a rare and delicate expression of the nuances and identity of the chalky terroir characteristic of Avize.
Vinification and aging
Vinification is carried out under wood to the extent of 28%. No malolactic fermentation. The dosage of this vintage 2016 cuvée is 7g/liter.
