Regarding the Champagne Louis Roederer Vintage 2016
Louis Roederer Vintage 2016 is an exceptional cuvée from the prestigious terroirs of Verzy and Chouilly. With a majority of Pinot Noir (68%), enhanced by 32% Chardonnay, it expresses the purity and power of the Montagne de Reims, with a proportion of wines aged in oak (33%) adding depth and character.
The wine's color is seductive, with an exemplary finesse of bubbles. The nose reveals a refined bouquet of ripe red fruit, candied citrus, toasted notes and chalky minerality. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, juicy and perfectly balanced, supported by a silky bubble and a dosage of 7 g/l. The long, saline finish marks a vintage of rare elegance.
Born of a contrasting year that was particularly favorable to grape ripening, the 2016 vintage reveals a sunny, precise champagne of great aromatic intensity. Ideal for a high-end aperitif or to sublimate noble fish, shellfish, roast poultry or delicately spiced cuisine. A champagne made for festive moments and exceptional meals.
With its solid structure and great purity, Vintage 2016 has excellent cellaring potential, enabling it to evolve harmoniously for many years. Roederer Vintage 2016 champagne comes in a gift box.
