Louis Roederer Vintage Blanc de Blancs Brut 2016
A monumental Champagne for precision and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates floral and citrus notes with mineral and chalky hints of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is rich in flavor, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the acidic drive and the silkiness of the sip. A stylistic achievement that represents the crystalline essence of the Côte des Blancs.
Louis Roederer Vintage Blanc de Blancs Brut 2016
The 2016 Blanc de Blancs from Louis Roederer is a monumental work that departs from the brightness of the 2015 to embrace a pure and almost cutting tension. The 2016 vintage in Champagne was marked by a difficult start and a dry late summer, resulting in wines of great precision and aromatic definition. In this Blanc de Blancs, the Chardonnay (mainly sourced from Avize) expresses an exceptional mineral vibrancy. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of grapefruit peel, spring white flowers, and green apple blend with deep hints of fresh almond, noble yeast, chalk powder, and a mineral streak reminiscent of seawater and wet stone. On the palate, it is sumptuous in its dynamism; the entry is direct, dominated by a dense yet lively texture that stretches towards a savory, endless finish with interminable aromatic persistence, characterized by aristocratic citrus freshness.
