Vinous Tasting Note

The 2016 Vintage is terrific. Rich, creamy and super-expressive, the 2016 is an absolute delight. All this fruit is from Roederer’s La Montagne estate, with Pinot Noir very much driving the blend. That comes through in a Champagne of notable textural resonance and breadth that grows with air. Hints of apricot, plum, spice and dried flowers caress the palate, all framed by a discreet touch of oak and an extra kick of texture from a few lots (5%) that underwent malolactic fermentation. This is a superb edition of the Vintage. The blend is 68% Pinot Noir and 32% Chardonnay. Here, the richness of the warm summer very much comes through. Dosage is 7 grams per liter.

About the Producer

About the Producer

The Louis Roederer estate is an iconic Champagne house, remaining one of the last great family-owned and independent signatures. A pioneer, the Roederer family invested early on in a vast, estate-owned vineyard, now cultivated with extreme precision in the heart of the Marne’s finest crus. From this remarkable terroir are born champagnes of impressive consistency and a refined, instantly recognizable style. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Chef de Caves, perpetuates this quest for excellence while infusing an innovative dynamic. The Louis Roederer house is distinguished by a prestigious range, whose cuvées embody elegance and complexity. Among the jewels are the Cristal Millésimé Brut and the Cristal Brut Rosé Millésimé, symbols of unparalleled craftsmanship. The Vintage Brut and the Brut Rosé Millésimé complete this offering, alongside more recent creations like the Collection 244 Brut, which testifies to the estate's spirit of innovation. More exclusive, the Coteaux Champenois "Hommage à Camille" reveals a rare parcel-based expression, elevating the diversity of the Champagne terroirs. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Louis Roederer Cristal Millésimé Brut, Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Rosé Millésimé, and Louis Roederer Vintage Brut—useful benchmarks for understanding the house's identity.
