Description
The elegance and purity of a great Roederer Champagne
Product of an extremely early vintage in Champagne, the Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs 2011 can only be described as "unprecedented".
Through its great elegance and purity, the Blanc de Blancs Louis Roederer Vintage 2011 reveals a sublime expression of Champagne, bearing the distinctive imprint of Chardonnay from the greatest terroirs of the Côte des Blancs.
In order to bring out in this champagne this more rounded effervescence that marks the signature style of Louis Roederer, the Blanc de Blancs 2011 was disgorged at a low pressure. With its low dose (9g/L), the Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs 2011 reveals all the purity of the great terroirs of Avize, from where it originated.
The Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs 2011 captivates the senses with its bright colour and the green reflections that highlight the finesse and consistent effervescence of its bubbles. Discreet at first, the nose opens with elegant fruit notes reminiscent of apple and pear. Swirling the glass then gives way to complex notes of caramelised apple and grilled hazelnut. The imprint of Chardonnay is outlined through aromas that evoke the minerality of the Avize terroir. Combining hints of warm stone, spices, graphite and dried tobacco leaves, the aromatic bouquet is a true vision of complexity.
However, it is on the palate that the Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs 2011 reveals the full extent of its personality. On the palate, the attack is first caressing, revealing the velvety texture of the wine. Dense and generous, the palate eventually offers chocolate notes, punctuated by slight hints of bitterness.
The finesse of this champagne is expressed next, a finesse delicately polished with a mineral salinity that leaves behind a chalky sensation, characteristics of the limestone soil of Avize. Bursting with freshness and vibrant with energy, the Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs 2011 stretches forth on the palate with its endless length. A champagne from an unprecedented vintage, with a bright finesse and great elegance.
