An Exquisite Expression of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay
The Louis Roederer Vintage Rosé 2016 is a testament to the house’s dedication to crafting exceptional Champagnes. This vintage showcases the harmonious blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, reflecting the unique character of the 2016 harvest.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Salmon pink hue with bright red tints; deep, intense colour; fine, vibrant, and energetic bubbles.
Aroma: Exceptional intensity and freshness with aromas of ripe, juicy stone fruit (wild peach), zesty red fruit (redcurrant), citrus notes (blood orange), and jammy hints of Roussillon red apricot upon aeration.
Palate: Soft, juicy, and concentrated entry, transitioning to a chalky, saline freshness that structures the wine; voluptuous yet delicate mouthfeel with flavours of nectarine, wild peach, lemon, and a subtle hint of bitterness. The soft, delicate bubbles impart a velvety texture, leading to a mouth-watering, slightly salty finish with discreet tannins and a lingering, chalky minerality.
