The House Louis Roederer is one of the names that comes up when we talk about the great houses of Champagne, being still one of the Rares to remain family owned for more than two centuries now.
Reigning over a vineyard of 240 hectares classified on sumptuous terroirs in Premiers Crus and Grands Crus, the House Louis Roederer has never ceased to offer generous Champagnes that embellish all occasions.
It was in 1833 that Louis Roederer inherited his uncle's house: the house of Champagne Dubois Père et Fils in Reims, which he had founded in 1776. From then on, he chose to take the habits and customs of the region in hand and showed great concern for controlling all the stages of production of his Champagne. At the time, marketing was the business of the wine merchants, while the vineyard belonged entirely to the winegrowers. Thus, in 1845, Louis Roederer bought about fifteen hectares of vineyards classified as Grand Cru and acquired the status of winemaker-negociant in order to reconcile the two trades.

Vintage:
This particularly warm and generous year, ripe and tender, delivered an exuberant array of radiant fruit fragrances. It was a year of questioning in which Rosé found its perfect path: juicy, intense fruit, a vinous, crisp, almost tannic texture, coupled with a spicy, fresh touch.
Tasting notes:
Deep, luminous pink color.
Dynamic, intense effervescence.
Delicate, fragrant bouquet of tart, slightly alcoholic fresh red fruits (cherry, blackcurrant) combined with chalky, toasted almond notes from autolysis. Almost more Champagne white than Rosé!

This Champagne Rosé gives itself over fully, immediately and without restraint, revealing an almost sensual, delicious sweetness. A fresh finish lightens the whole, with a slight ripe, tannic bitterness that adds depth and prolongs the taste.

Rosé infusion: long, gentle infusion of Pinot noir to Extra bring out its juicy, ripe side while preserving its immense saline freshness. A few Chardonnay juices are thus poured into a Pinot Noir maceration, to ferment together and integrate perfectly.
THE HEAT OF SPICES - Arnaud Lallement's pairing, « L’Assiette Champenoise » 3 stars
Invigorating vinosity and great power are the hallmarks of this highly seductive vintage, with its grilled, chalky accents. A roasted blue lobster with paprika, combining the warmth of the spices and the power of the shellfish, seemed obvious.
A combination of power and generosity, combining two complementary forces and uniting two continents.
