Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs Millesime 2014 Champagne

Short Description

A great wine from Louis Roederer harvested  exclusively on the Côte de Blancs composed of 100% Chardonnay.

An exclusive Grand Cru of which 10% is vinified in wooden casks in oak barrels.

The colour is the purest light gold with bright light green glows. This Grand Cru is then aged for optimum maturation for about 5 years. The wine is then disgorged for at least six months before expedition.

The first attack to the nose is very floral (white flowers mainly from fruit-trees) followed by outstanding touches of citrus like grapefruit or Menton lemon.

To the palate it is very velvety and rich with notes of citrus, and of light toasted vanilla brioche.

To be served around 10 to 12°C.

Will work perfectly with caviar toasts, smoked salmon in all seasons, and during the summer with cubes of Charentais melon.

Very high potential of ageing for several years.

It was in 1833 that Louis Roederer inherited his uncle’s House : the Dubois Father and Son Champagne House in Reims, founded in 1776.

In 1876, Louis Roederer II who succeeded his Father in 1870, created, upon request of Alexander II for the Russian tsar’s exclusive consumption, the Crystal vintage, a superior vintage that is an innovation for Champagne.

Then in 1908, tsar Nicolas II gave the title of “official supplier to His Imperial Majesty’s Court”. The crystal bottles carry the tsar’s coat of arms as a medallion.

The House kept growing under the watchful gaze of the next generations, among which Jean-Claude Rouzaud, who managed the House from 1980 to 2006, and Frédéric Rouzaud, his son, the current manager since 2006.

The vineyard spreads on 240 hectares, dispatched on the Reims mountain, the Marne valley, and the Côte des Blancs. Pinot Noir is the main variety.
