The Story

From 1830 onwards, the House of Louis Roederer acquired extensive knowledge of the terroirs and plot-by-plot vinification, and mastered the effervescence. In the heart of the Côte des Blancs, where the Chardonnay grapes attain optimal maturity on the calcareous soils, Louis Roederer has selected two exceptional grands crus: Mesnil-sur-Oger and Avize, whose unique characteristics and complementarity enable the House to produce taut, highly arom...

Wine Information

A fresh and contrasting year marked by a particularly cold winter with heavy frosts, followed by a dry and cool spring and early summer. A shocking climatic turnaround in August and September with two very wet and humid months which complicated ripening at the end of the season.

Written Notes

A yellow-gold colour with subtle green tints.Subtle and smooth effervescence.

An intense bouquet of golden plum and tangy mango, candied lemon, flowers (mimosa) and buttery pastries. A light aeration reveals hints of sugared almonds (ground almonds), white chocolate with a slight vanilla edge and baked apples.

The expectation is for a substantial and voluminous follow-up - but instead the initial intensity subsides revealing the precision, purity and chalky, mineral freshness of the grand Avize Chardonnays.

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is green-yellow and light. On the nose it is open, intense, complex, fresh, tempting and pure. The taste is fresh, harmonious, elegant, and dry, and high in acidity, with perfectly balanced structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has white fruits, mineral and bread flavours. The finish is long, lingering, pure and vibrant.
