Champagne Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs avec Etui *

Bright gold colour with green highlights. Soft, slow and regular effervescence. Very pure, delicate and airy bouquet. One can detect nuances of delicate flowers (honeysuckle, jasmine), ripe citrus fruits, fine and almost roasted (citron). Then come the iodine sensations, of sea breeze, associated with the warm and sweet notes of pastries just out of the oven. The palate is dense, finely zesty and invigorating. The attack is fresh and energetic... it is the iodine aspect that dominates here, supported by citrus fruits (orange), harvest notes (almond, wheat) and Madagascar vanilla. The bubble is delicately melting and gives way to a chalky freshness revealing a light and powdery finish at first, but which surprises with a real final acceleration thanks to its racy tannins and roasted spices.
