This 2016 Vintage is a vibrant tribute to the Pinot noir from La Montagne. Since the 2013 Vintage, we have been striving to achieve this singular expression of the Verzy Pinot noirs originating from the finest vines bought by Louis Roederer back in the mid-19th century.
68% Pinot noir and 32% Chardonnay, a lower 8% of which is wine matured in oak. This champagne has spent over 4 years on lees with dosage of 7 grams per litre.

Palate: The palate is complex, generous and kaleidoscopic. It commences with a juicy, creamy body in which the ripefruit comes through again in the form of nectarine. It is like biting into the fruit! The creamy, silky bubbles dance lightly
