Brut Vintage

The blend is 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, with 20% of the wine vinified in oak tuns with weekly bâtonnage (stirring by hand); it is not subjected to malolactic fermentation. The Vintage cuvée is aged, on average, for four years in Louis Roederer’s cellars and left for six months after dégorgement (disgorging) to attain optimal maturity. The dosage is 9 g/l.

This Vintage Cuvée uses the two blended wines from two seperate regions. 70% cool-climate Pinot Noir from Verzy and Verzenay (Montagne de Reims) and 30% Chardonnay from a very warm, south/southwest-facing vineyard in Chouilly (Côte des Blancs).

Golden yellow with soft amber tints and a bright, gentle sparkle. The subtle bouquet reveals spring-like notes of fresh citrus fruits, smoky mineral aromas and hints of lightly toasted almonds. The wine has a talc-like chalkiness and is both soft and full bodied, with a silky long finish.

Ideal as an aperitif, due to its freshness and finesse, Its structure makes it a splendid accompaniment to fine cuisine which pairs beautifully with lobster, shellfish, white fish and white meats.
