Louis Roederer Blanc De Blancs Champagne 750mL
Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Vintage Champagne | 750mL | Avize, Côte des Blancs, France | 100% Chardonnay | Brut | Estate-Grown
Process & Profile
Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs Champagne is made entirely from Chardonnay grown in the house’s Grand Cru estate vineyards in Avize. These chalk-rich sites in the Côte des Blancs give the wine its distinctive combination of concentrated fruit, freshness, and mineral character.
A portion of the wine is vinified in oak, while extended bottle aging develops texture and aromatic complexity. Roederer makes this cuvée with lower bottle pressure to create a softer, more delicate effervescence, allowing the Chardonnay’s character to unfold across the palate.
Lemon, white flowers, orchard fruit, and toasted almond accompany a creamy texture and chalky freshness. With further aging under suitable conditions, the wine can develop honeyed and dried-fruit nuances while retaining the definition that distinguishes its Avize origins.
