Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs 2015 1.5L

Description

Product Description: Chalk, citrus, and cellar-worthy finesse. Roederer’s Blanc de Blancs in large format. The 2015 Blanc de Blancs Magnum from Louis Roederer is a Champagne of precision and depth, made entirely from Chardonnay grown in the chalk soils of Avize. These grands crus vineyards, owned and farmed biodynamically by the House, reflect Roederer’s quiet transformation into Champagne’s leading biodynamic grower. It is a wine shaped not just by origin but by vision. The 2015 season was hot and dry, producing small yields of concentrated fruit. Roederer’s approach was one of restraint. Lower pressure during bottling preserved delicacy, while extended ageing in large-format oak brought structure without heaviness. Time in magnum allows even greater nuance, with the slower evolution offering enhanced tension, length and textural complexity. This is a Champagne of clarity and definition. The fruit is ripe yet taut, the mousse fine, the palate long and saline. Citrus, chalk and wheat notes carry through from nose to finish. While already complete, this vintage will reward cellaring with added richness and depth. For collectors and Champagne purists alike, it is a commanding expression of site, craft and scale. Tasting Notes NOSE – Mineral and floral Lemon blossom, citrus oil, sea spray, and fresh wheat with hints of almond and smoke. PALATE – Creamy and concentrated Fine mousse supports ripe citrus and chalk with a soft oak frame and savoury depth. FINISH – Long and saline Textured, mouth-watering, and expansive with smoky, toasty persistence.
