Louis Roederer Hommage à Camille ‘Volibarts’ Coteaux Champenois Blanc 2022

Description

Product Description: Hommage à Camille Volibarts” presents a rare still Chardonnay from one of Champagne’s most revered sites in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Crafted in tribute to Camille Olry-Roederer’s spirit of innovation, this cuvee explores Champagne terroir through texture, purity, and minerality rather than bubbles. Partial skin contact and extended lees ageing bring depth and tactile complexity while preserving freshness and clarity. The result is a poised, expressive white with layered fruit, subtle savoury notes, and a cool saline finish. Elegant, structured, and quietly powerful, it offers a compelling alternative view of Champagne through still wine.
