Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs 2017 is a vintage blanc de blancs champagne (100% Chardonnay) offering a rare balance between strength and finesse. The Chardonnays, carefully selected from the "La Côte" plot of the Avize terroir, classified Grand Cru, form the basis of this cuvée. Indeed, 28% of these grapes are vinified undergrowth, before all of them are aged in the cellar for 5 years. From the first sip, the effervescence is soft. The nose, meanwhile, initially reveals notes of white flowers and citrus fruits, which gradually evolve towards toasted aromas. On the palate, this brut champagne is distinguished by its creamy and soft texture, accompanied by great freshness. We discover a ripe fruit, ending on a saline note. The 2017 Blanc de Blancs, with its length and concentration, proves to be a wonderful accompaniment to shellfish, cheese soufflé, fish dishes, raw fish or even shellfish.

THE BRAND
Established in 1776 by Mr. Dubois and his son, the house enjoyed a period of growth under the direction of Louis Roederer, who ran the business from 1832 to 1870, propelling it to the ranks of the greatest Champagne houses. This prestigious reputation as supplier to the Tsar was maintained with remarkable regularity. Rather than buying grapes, Louis Roederer preferred to invest in the acquisition of vineyards, meticulously selecting the best plots. In 1876, his son created the first "prestigious cuvée" of Champagne for Tsar Alexander II, which he named Cristal. This tradition was continued by Léon Olry Roederer, then by his wife Camille from 1933, and finally by his grandson Jean-Claude Rouzaud, who undertook a redesign of the vineyard. Since 2006, the Rouzaud family, represented by Frédéric, the seventh generation of the lineage, has been at the head of Roederer champagnes. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, who has held the positions of deputy general manager and cellar master since 1999, contributes to maintaining the excellence of the house. The vineyard has been cultivated according to the principles of biodynamics for over twenty years, with half already certified organic and biodynamic, while the rest benefits from the HVE-3 label.
