Louis Roederer Brut Blanc de Blancs 2016

Louis Roederer Brut Blanc de Blancs 2016 is a beautifully focused Champagne made entirely from Chardonnay, sourced from four parcels in Avize. It combines the finesse and purity expected from a great Blanc de Blancs with a richer, more generous style that makes it especially appealing to Champagne lovers looking for depth as well as freshness. Degorged in February 2022 and finished with a modest dosage of 7 g/L, it stands out as one of the insider’s favourites in the Roederer range.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a refined, luminous character, with aromas of citrus oil, ripe peach, toasted almonds, buttery pastry, sea spray, and white flowers. The bouquet is layered and expressive, balancing bright fruit with subtle autolytic complexity and a distinct mineral edge. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, ample and textural, with a deeply layered fruit core, crisp acidity, and a long, juicy finish. The wine has both immediate charm and serious structure, and while it is already highly enjoyable, it should also develop beautifully with further bottle age.

Production
This Blanc de Blancs is produced from four parcels in Avize, one of the most prized Chardonnay villages in the Côte des Blancs, where chalky soils bring tension, precision, and minerality to the wine. The 2016 vintage was degorged in February 2022 and received a dosage of 7 grams per liter, helping preserve the wine’s purity while adding a touch of softness to its broad, layered profile.

Food & Serving
This Champagne is an excellent match for refined seafood dishes such as oysters, scallops, lobster, or sashimi, as well as roast poultry, creamy risotto, or dishes with a delicate beurre blanc. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is not necessary, though a short period in the glass will help it open beautifully.
