"A very different style to the 1996, this has much more savory, autolytic influence. Fresh, chalky aromas with hazelnuts and grilled lemons, as well as a super fine, toasty thread. There’s roasted coffee, smoky grilled lemons and a big mouthful of fresh white peaches and truffles. Gently nutty. Pulls into chalk at the finish. Eight years sur latte and seven years sur pointe. Disgorged with 7g dosage of the same wine." JS

Louis Roederer

Champagne Louis Roederer was founded in 1776 in Reims France and is one of the rare family owned companies which is still managed by the Roederer family. In 1833 Louis Roederer inherited the company from his uncle and renamed the company under his namesake. Under his leadership the company rapidly grew while remaining true to their philosophy of uncompromising quality. Today the company is under the helm of Jean-Claude Rouzaud and his son Frédéric who continue to place quality before quantity. First-Rate Vineyards Champagne Louis Roederer is one of the only French champagne producers to own nearly 75 percent of the grapes in the most desirable vineyards in the Champagne. The property is located on 450 acres in the finest villages of Montagne de Reims Côtes des Blancs and Valleé de la Marne. Each region is selected to produce Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with the elegance needed for perfectly balanced champagne. The Louis Roederer vineyards rate an average 98 percent based on France’s statutory 100-point classification scale. The reserve wine is then tasted and graded by a team of Roederer specialists. They choose as many as 40 different wines from several lots for the blend. For the final touch the wine is then added in order to enhance the cuvee and guarantee consistency while retaining the champagne's characteristics.
