The Louis Roederer Vintage Brut 2016 is a masterful expression of the Champagne region’s finest terroirs. Crafted with precision and passion, this exceptional vintage showcases the elegance of Pinot Noir from La Montagne, harmonised with the chiselled character of Chardonnay. Its shimmering golden hue and vibrant effervescence are a prelude to an exquisite bouquet of ripe red fruits, candied citrus, and toasted hazelnuts. On the palate, it delivers a symphony of creamy textures, ripe nectarine, and a minerality that lingers with a saline finish. Perfect for celebrating life’s most luxurious moments, this vintage is a tribute to Louis Roederer’s enduring legacy.
Louis Roederer is synonymous with excellence in the world of Champagne. Established in 1776, this family-owned house has consistently produced wines of exceptional quality, with an unwavering focus on sustainability and terroir-driven expression. The 2016 vintage pays homage to the Verzy Pinot Noirs, cultivated on vines acquired by Louis Roederer in the mid-19th century.
The 2016 growing season brought a unique blend of challenges and triumphs, with a cool, wet spring followed by a warm, dry summer. These weather extremes culminated in perfectly ripened Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, resulting in a Champagne that is both intensely fruity and finely mineral. The meticulous care taken in the vineyard and the winery has created a wine of kaleidoscopic complexity and texture, making it a standout choice for connoisseurs.
