Louis Roederer
Vintage Champagne Blend
The 4th wine at the Louis Roederer dinner at the Downs Club on Friday night. A blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. Interestingly the Pinot vineyards are south facing and the Chardonnay vineyards are north facing. The Pinot asserts itself in the aroma with red fruits with yellow fruits from the Chardonnay. The palate incorporates these aromatics and is fresh, exhibiting power and energy. A great future here and already mouthwatering.

Feb 25th, 2024Lemon, lime, kiwi, fruit forward. Lively in the mouth. Soft chalkiness and minerality, sea spray, biscuit, lots of white spice, yellow florals, nice acidity, balance, length and polished finish that lingers beautifully. Wire to wire solid. @ K&L Champagne tasting.

Feb 11th, 2020What an incredible way to start the 1928 dinner. Surprisingly youthful and fresh yet mature and graceful. This was extremely incredible that I’m glad to have the chance to enjoy.
