Louis Roederer Vintage Brut, Champagne, France 2016

Vintage Brut 2016 is a beautifully structured and expressive vintage Champagne that captures the power and refinement of an exceptional growing season. Driven by Pinot Noir with Chardonnay adding lift and precision, it opens with aromas of ripe orchard fruit, citrus zest, toasted brioche, roasted hazelnut, and delicate spice. The palate is rich yet impeccably balanced, offering layers of baked apple, pear, lemon curd, subtle smoke, and chalky minerality, all framed by a fine, persistent mousse. The outstanding 2016 vintage brings remarkable depth, freshness, and tension, making this an elegant, cellar-worthy Champagne that showcases Louis Roederer’s signature precision and timeless sophistication.
