From the House of Roederer. These guys have been at it since 1776, so they know a thing or two about producing some very fine bubbles. The fact that it's still family run is miraculous, given that most of the larger houses have been snatch up by a large fashion conglomerate. We appreciate that.
+ GRAPE: 100% Chardonnay. Biodynamic farming.
+ PROFILE: Dry. Soft bubbles. White flowers and citrus on the nose. Sea spray, clementine, powdered chalk, flinty, grilled almonds, and fresh cream. Smooth saline finish. Bright acidity.
+ FUNDAMENTALS: 28% of the wine was vinified in oak casks, the remainder in tank. Bottle-aged for five years and then left to rest for a further eight months after disgorging to attain the perfect maturity. Zero malolactic fermentation. Dosage: 7 g/L.
+ ABOUT: Originally founded in 1776, Champagne Louis Roederer continues as one of the very rare Champagne houses to remain firmly in the hands of the same family, since 1832. Seven successive generations have been responsible for building a reputation for unparalleled quality with a focus on meticulous viticulture, best demonstrated with an ongoing organic and biodynamic conversion of its vineyards. Remarkably, 100% of the House’s vintage dated wines are estate-produced.
