The Blanc de Blancs vintage is only produced in the best years and in small quantities coming from a selection of the most prestigious Louis Roederer vineyards in the Côte des Blancs region. It does not undergo malolactic fermentation and its pressure is reduced to four kilograms, instead of the usual six in order to preserve its delicacy and freshness.
Yellow with light greenish/gold highlights. Wonderful persistent bead of ultra-fine bubbles. Scents of crystallised citrus (oranges, lemons) mingled with sweeter notes of ripe fruit (apples, pears), honey-scented flowers and sweet pastry. Hints of caramel emerge, which is typical of Louis Roederer and an indication that some of the wines in the blend were wood-aged.
All the signs of an impressively rich Blanc de Blancs, with a plump, creamy substance. Finishes with an assertive acidity, striking a perfect balance between dense fleshiness and concentrated fruit. The taste is like biting into crisp, almost plummy fruit with delicate aromas of juicy, ripe grapes, sweet pastries fresh from the oven and those subtly toasty notes that are the mark of lush Chardonnay grapes. Ideal as an aperitif. The very essence of freshness, finesse and elegance, Blanc de Blancs is also the perfect accompaniment to seafood, fish and goat's cheese.
