Tasting Notes
Louis Roederer Vintage Blanc de Blanc 2016
Golden yellow hue with bright highlights. Magnificent, soft and even bubbles.
Bouquet of white flowers (jasmine, orange blossom), citrus zest (lemon) and wheat complemented by an impression of iodine freshness, sea spray, sea breeze and powdered chalk. A few smoky notes and a reductive, calcareous quality, reminiscent of grilled almonds, emerge after aeration.
The palate is creamy and caressing, revealing softness and finesse; coated velvet-like textures that quickly give way to fresh, marine, powdery and concentrated sensations. One has the impression of biting into a ripe, juicy fruit bursting with a lingering and mouth-watering zesty freshness. The finish is smooth, saline and stretches out like a shaft of sunshine, luminous and drying yet never brittle.
"This Blanc de Blancs 2016 reveals the lovely hallmark signature of Avize's white soils, able to achieve that rare Chardonnay balance of energy, power and finesse. Delicious!"
