FAQ

What defines the style of Champagne Brut Vintage?
The Brut Vintage from Louis Roederer is a precise, deep vintage champagne with a pronounced terroir character. Finesse, purity and harmony define its style – complemented by complex fruitiness and a long, vinous finish.

How is Champagne Brut Vintage vinified?
30% of the wine is aged in oak barrels. The entire cuvée then matures on the lees for an average of 4 years. After disgorgement, it rests for at least 6 additional months before release.

What role do the grape varieties play in this wine?
The cuvée consists of 70% Pinot Noir, which provides power, structure and fruit depth, and 30% Chardonnay, which contributes elegance, freshness and fine minerality. This blend gives the Vintage its characteristic balance.

At what temperature should the wine be served?
Champagne Brut Vintage is ideally served at 6–8°C. This allows the effervescence, aromas and freshness to unfold at their best.

When does Champagne Brut Vintage 2016 reach its peak?
The 2016 vintage is already enjoyable now and can be cellared for up to 10 or more years. With additional ageing it develops further complexity and depth.

What does Champagne Brut Vintage pair best with?
It harmonises beautifully with rich aperitifs, savoury starters, fine fish and seafood, as well as poultry or veal main courses.

What makes the Champagne region special?
Champagne is the northernmost wine-growing region of France, with a unique chalk terroir and cool climate. These conditions promote high acidity and fine effervescence – ideal for producing the world's finest sparkling wines.

What role does oak ageing play in Brut Vintage?
30% of the cuvée ages in oak barrels. This adds complexity, depth and subtle notes of bread and nuts without masking the freshness and terroir expression.
