This gift-boxed release brings together the house’s deep heritage in Champagne with Philippe Starck’s minimalist vision, resulting in a wine that feels both modern and highly refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a bright, polished profile with clear citrus character, lemon zest, and hints of citrus oil. Beneath that freshness, there is a softer stone-fruit tone that gives the wine a silkier impression than many brut nature styles, along with subtle notes of toasted bread and roasted nuts.\n\nOn the palate, it is medium to full in body with a fleshy, textural feel and excellent poise. The 2018 vintage includes a small amount of Pinot Blanc for the first time, adding depth to the mid-palate and a delicate almond and fresh hazelnut nuance. Despite its intensity, it remains elegant and balanced, with no hard oxidative edge and strong potential to develop further complexity over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from Champagne’s chalk-rich terroirs, this wine is built for freshness, structure, and purity. The 2018 vintage marked the first inclusion of a small proportion of Pinot Blanc, chosen to enhance the wine’s mid-palate depth and texture, while extended time on the lees contributes additional complexity and a refined, creamy weight. It was disgorged in October 2024, with further release lots planned for subsequent disgorgement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest enjoyed with fine seafood, oysters, sashimi, shellfish, or delicate poultry dishes, as well as young hard cheeses and lightly salted canapés. Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is not necessary; a brief rest in the glass will be enough for the wine to open gradually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLouis Roederer is one of Champagne’s most respected houses, known for its independent family ownership and its longstanding focus on quality and vineyard expression.
