Louis Roederer Champagne Vintage 2015

70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay

Deep yellow hue with golden and slightly amber tints and vigorous, lively bubbles. The intense Pinot Noir bouquet includes notes of zesty red fruit (redcurrants) and juicy, sun-drenched yellow fruit (mirabelle plums, wild peaches). After aeration, the nose evolves towards the more classic aromas of the Pinot Noirs grown in "La Montagne:" dried fruit and smoky notes combined with a few zesty and spicy aromas (white pepper).

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 structure is energetic, well honed, firm and almost classic. The fruity aromas gradually give way to sweeter notes of chocolate (cocoa beans) and even delicate roasted notes. The finish reveals concentrated roasted and stewed fruit underpinned by saline, mouthwatering flavors leaving a magnificent final sensation of lightness, generosity and elegance.
