Crafted from selected parcels in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, it pays tribute to Camille Olry-Roederer, the visionary woman who guided the estate through much of the 20th century. Produced in tiny quantities, this wine showcases the pure, terroir-driven character of Pinot Noir in Champagne, away from the bubbles it’s best known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 2019 ‘Hommage à Camille’ Rouge is a vibrant, translucent ruby, hinting at both finesse and concentration. The nose opens with lifted aromas of red cherries, wild strawberries and sweet red berries, layered with notes of clove, raw cocoa, rose petal and a refined touch of new oak spice.\n\nOn the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, ample and textural, with a succulent core of ripe red fruit framed by fine, powdery tannins and lively, refreshing acidity. The interplay of juicy cherry fruit, sweet spice and cocoa tones gives an impression of both richness and precision, with more depth and drama than the 2018 vintage. The finish is long, pure and silky, suggesting that while this wine is already very seductive, it will continue to develop complexity over the next 8–12 years, and potentially longer in a good cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from carefully selected Pinot Noir parcels in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, this Coteaux Champenois expresses the cooler, chalk and clay-limestone soils that define Champagne’s finest terroirs. The vineyards are farmed with great attention to soil health and biodiversity, following Roederer’s shift toward organic and biodynamic principles. Grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness specifically for still wine, not sparkling, ensuring greater phenolic maturity and concentration. In the cellar, gentle extraction and precise temperature control preserve the delicacy of Pinot Noir, while élevage in a judicious proportion of new French oak barrels lends fine structure, subtle spice and a polished texture without overwhelming the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis refined Pinot Noir is a versatile partner at the table, pairing beautifully with roasted poultry (such as duck or guinea fowl), veal, pork tenderloin, delicate game birds or mushroom-based dishes like wild mushroom risotto or a truffled poultry jus. It also suits refined charcuterie and mild, semi-soft cheeses. Serve at 14–16°C (57–61°F) to highlight its aromatics and freshness. A gentle decant of 30–45 minutes can help the wine open up, softening the tannins and allowing the floral, spicy and cocoa notes to fully emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1776 in Reims, Louis Roederer remains one of the last great Champagne houses that is still family-owned and independently run. Best known for the iconic Cristal, Roederer has long been a benchmark for meticulous vineyard ownership and quality-driven production in Champagne. Under the guidance of successive generations, the estate has invested heavily in its own vineyards and in sustainable, often biodynamic, viticulture, giving it an intimate connection to its terroirs. The ‘Hommage à Camille’ range honors Camille Olry-Roederer, who led the house with remarkable vision after World War II, and reflects Roederer’s ambition to explore the still-wine potential of Champagne’s finest sites with the same precision and elegance that define its celebrated sparkling wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louis Roederer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252694896977,"sku":"PS-7730897879240","price":199.78,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/RoedererCamillePinotNoir2019.png?v=1783446054","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/louis-roederer-coteaux-champenois-hommage-a-camille-rouge-2019-75-cl","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
