LOUIS ROEDERER Blanc de Blancs Vintage, 1998
Since its foundation, the Louis Roederer House has expressed a great interest in the specificity of the terroirs and quickly provides for the realisation of separate vinifications. Select, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, two exceptional grand crus: Le Mesnil sur Oger and Avise. The production conditions for a great Chardonnay, fine and subtle, are given.
100% Chardonnay - 33% wine-veinated wines (oak barrels) with a weekly bazooka - No malolactic fermentation. The cuvée Blanc de Blancs is bottled at low pressure for a rounder and more coated effervescence. It has an average of 5 years of maturation in cavas and a rest of 6 months after slaughter, in order to perfect its maturity. The dosage is adapted to each vintage between 8 and 10 g/l.
Style: Elegant, subtle and mineral.

Bright colour, intense yellow with green reflections. Soft and regular effervescence, and persistent edging.
Pleasant bouquet of pollen, delicate and fragrant spring flowers, honeysuckle, lily of the valley and lemon tree, associated with more concentrated and candied citrus fruits. Next, there are the toasted notes, peel, cereals and wheat typical of the great Chardonnays of Avize.
Round and fruity mouthful entry that quickly gives way to a mineral and greasy freshness, but with a dusty and enveloping texture. An impression of cold and wet chalk, with the right drying sensation to enhance the impression of minerality finely integrated into the structure
