The vintage Champagne based on 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. 34% of wine was fermented in oak vats. The intense Pinot noir bouquet includes notes of zesty red fruit (redcurrants) and juicy, sun-drenched yellow fruit (mirabelle plums, wild peaches). The palate is dynamic, concentrated and powerful. The texture is fleshy and vinous with a lovely acidity that incorporates the freshness and concentration of the juice with great ease. The finish reveals concentrated roasted and stewed fruit underpinned by saline, mouthwatering flavours leaving a magnificent final sensation of lightness, generosity and elegance.
Dosage: 8 g/l.
Serve at 8-10 °C with oysters, seafood, benedict eggs or grilled fish.
Composed of Pinot noir sometimes complemented by Chardonnay, the Vintage cuvée is generally matured on lees for 4 years and left for a minimum of 6 months after dégorgement (disgorging) to attain perfect maturity. The power and maturity of the Verzy Pinot Noir forge its identity, its notes of intense fruit, juicy pear and concentrated citrus, almost candied, acidic red fruits. Drink 2023 to 2040.
The Champagne house Louis Roederer is associated with the legendary Cristal prestige cuvee, created in 1876 especially for Tsar Alexander II of Russia. But even without this Champagne, Louis Roederer has an impeccable reputation. To this day, the company remains in the hands of the family and is run by the seventh generation of Frederic Rouzaud, grandson of Camille Roederer, one of the most famous women of Champagne. Today, Louis Roederer produces two thirds of its Champagnes exclusively from grapes grown in its own vineyards. With 240 hectares of vineyards, most of which are in grand cru areas, even their basic Louis Roederer Brut Premier Champagne has an aristocratic elegance. Even in bad years, the Champagnes of the vintage year are surprisingly stylish, complex and long-lasting.
