Vintage Champagne

The palate is characteristic of Louis Roederer’s vintages. the attack is ample and dense; a rich and winey fullness is refined by the sweetness, acidity and tight blend of the Pinot noir grapes of Verzenay. The ensemble is perfectly integrated into a subtle texture. Tasting reveals sparkling suggestions of candied fruits, almond paste, toast, white chocolate, and caramel.

• a brilliant light yellow
• a fine, jewel-like bead

• fruity notes of white peach, lemon, pineapple, green banana and pear
• floral, botanical scents of mock-orange, herbal tea and honeysuckle
• spicier, sweeter nuances of pepper, brown sugar, marzipan and candied melon

• straightforward yet complex, with a sleek, pure savour leading into a long, languorously rich finish
• a light, lively, supple structure with mineral overtones
• bracing, refreshing notes of rhubarb and grapefruit with a touch of mint
