Louis Roederer : Coffret Rosé Vintage 2016, Vintage 2015 et Blanc de Blancs 2015

Three essential champagnes from Louis Roederer gathered in one box

The property

Founded in 1776 in Reims, the Louis Roederer Champagne House has remained family-owned and independent. After more than 200 years of existence, the Louis Roederer House is still in the hands of the same family. Today led by Frédéric Rouzaud, who represents the seventh generation of the lineage, the Louis Roederer House embodies the excellence of Champagne wines around the world thanks to cuvées crafted like a work of art.

The vineyard

With nearly 241 hectares of vines, the Louis Roederer House draws its strength from its extraordinary vineyard, composed only of Grands and Premiers Crus in the Marne Valley, the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. A true mosaic of terroirs, the Louis Roederer House's vineyard is divided into 410 plots that reflect all the diversity of the Champagne soils.

The box

This box brings together three singular expressions of the Roederer style:

Blanc de Blancs 2015
This Blanc de Blancs champagne signed Louis Roederer is a rare and elegant expression of the chalky terroir of Avize. Made exclusively from chardonnay from the "La Côte" vineyard, it stands out for its precision and aromatic purity. Partially vinified in wood (16%) without malolactic fermentation and dosed at 8 g/l, it embodies a subtle balance between freshness and complexity.

Its bright yellow color with green reflections and delicate effervescence precedes a refined nose with aromas of ripe citrus, white flowers and almond, enhanced by menthol, iodine and smoky notes. On the palate, the creamy and concentrated texture gives way to a persistent finish, marked by a mineral freshness and woody and toasted nuances of great elegance.

Vintage 2015
This vintage 2015 cuvée comes exclusively from the "La Montagne" vineyard, located in the communes of Verzy and Chouilly. This blend of 70% pinot noir and 30% chardonnay is partially vinified in wood (34%) and undergoes malolactic fermentation at 24%. The dosage of this Brut is 8 g/l, thus revealing the intensity and complexity of this solar vintage.

Its yellow color with golden reflections is animated by a lively effervescence. The nose reveals fruity notes of redcurrant, mirabelle plum and vine peach, enhanced by spicy touches of white pepper. On the palate, the vivacity and power balance perfectly, offering a palette of fruit, cocoa bean and roasting aromas. The persistent and saline finish leaves an impression of freshness and greediness.

Rosé Vintage 2016
This rosé champagne comes from the "La Rivière" vineyard, mainly on the crus of Cumières and Chouilly. This blend of 62% pinot noir and 38% chardonnay benefits from partial vinification in wood (21%) and limited malolactic fermentation (4%). Made using the rosé infusion technique, this champagne reveals a subtle balance between maturity and freshness, with a dosage of 8 g/l.

Its salmon color with bright red reflections is animated by a fine and dynamic effervescence. The summer bouquet seduces with its aromas of juicy yellow fruits, tart redcurrant and blood orange, evolving towards greedy notes of candied apricot. On the palate, the attack is caressing and juicy, followed by a refreshing limestone salinity. The ripe fruits and citrus bring a zesty and slightly bitter touch, while the silky effervescence integrates perfectly with the velvety texture. The long and salivating finish is marked by a saline minerality and refined tannic notes.
