Louis Roederer Blanc de Blanc 2016 Vintage Champagne 75cl
Louis Roederer Blanc de Blanc 2016 is a discreet and delicate Champagne created using only Chardonnay grapes from 4 plots in the Grand Cru of Avize in the Cote des Blancs. Louis Roederer uses 100% of its own grapes for vintage styles - this complete self-sufficiency is extremely unusual in Champagne yet it ensures superior quality at all stages from grape to glass.
An extraordinary vintage which is also the year in which the Champagne region was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Inspired by the Champagne House’s savoir-faire in the harvest of a single year, this pure Chardonnay is grown on hillside plots in the Avize terroir in the heart of the “La Côte” estate. This champagne draws its strength from the intense chalkiness of these limestone soils which lend it its infinite freshness. With time, this champagne reveals the power and identity of these great terroirs.
Composed of 100% Chardonnay, the Blanc de Blancs Vintage cuvée is generally matured on lees for five years and left for a minimum of 6 months after dégorgement (disgorging) to attain perfect maturity.
