The 2015 Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs Champagne is ripe, chiseled, pure and vertical: a concentrate of Auge chalk. The ambition of the 2015 vintage? Capture the concentrated signature of a spectacular vintage!
The 2015 Vintage: The 2015 harvest is extraordinary. 2015, which is also the year of the recognition of the Champagne region as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is perfectly in line with the continental trend of the decade: mild and wet winter and hot and dry summer! The summer, hot and sunny, will remain marked by records of heat and drought… And by this happy summer finale where the vine was “relieved” by the saving rain of the second part of August. The maturation, thanks to this final under the sign of freshness, will give birth to juicy, ripe and concentrated grapes. The ambition of the vintage? To capture the concentrated signature of a spectacular vintage!
The Blanc de Blancs 2015 has a luminous yellow color, with slightly green reflections, a soft, creamy, ultra fine and delicate effervescence.
On the nose
Precise and mineral bouquet. One can detect ripe citrus fruits (citron), white flowers almost vanilla (pollen) and harvest notes (almond, wheat). The freshness is also expressed in the bouquet in the form of mint and iodine (sea breeze) gradually complemented by warmer nuances of smoke, hot butter and toast.
In the mouth
The attack is creamy, both tender and concentrated. The wine unfolds intensely, supported by the delicate effervescence. The sensation is that of a mature, complete and concentrated juice carried by this incredible powdery texture with a resolutely saline finish. Some woody and smoky notes stretch the wine, giving it that extra length and complexity that presage a long ageing. The finish is pure, refreshing and salivating.
To appreciate all its finesse and aromas, champagne should be enjoyed chilled (but not iced). Depending on the cuvée, the ideal serving temperature is between 8 and 12°C.
Like all wines, champagne can be kept for varying lengths of time, depending on the type. Under optimal storage conditions, champagne can be kept for 1 to 2 years for Brut cuvées, and up to 4/5 years or even longer for vintage and prestige champagnes. Whatever happens, rest assured that you'll never be able to open your champagne too early, as the Champagne Houses only release their cuvées when they have reached perfect ripeness and are ready for immediate consumption.
100% Chardonnay – The Blanc de Blancs Vintage is aged for an average of 5 years on lees and also benefits from a minimum of 6 months rest after disgorgement to perfect its maturity.
As early as 1830, Louis Roederer acquired a great knowledge of the terroirs, practiced separate vinification and mastered effervescence. In the heart of the Côte des Blancs, where Chardonnay flourishes on limestone soils, Louis Roederer has selected an exceptional Grand Cru, Avize, whose typicity and complementarity allow the production of intense wines expressing finesse and aromatic richness.
The Blanc de Blancs Vintage is partially vinified in wood (16%) and malolactic fermentation has not been carried out in order to preserve the freshness of this wine.
