Roederer Vintage 2008 is a cuvée that magnifies a very fine vintage. It features notes of white fruit, citrus zest and a floral touch.
Roederer has structured its Vintage 2008 around Pinots Noirs from the Montagne de Reims, powerful grapes that produce wines that are sometimes closed and rough, requiring time to open up.
Roederer Vintage 2008 is a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. 37% of the wines were vinified in oak foudres with weekly stirring of the lees.
Malolactic fermentation is not carried out to preserve freshness and ageing potential. The dosage is Brut, around 9 g/l.
Roederer Vintage 2008 has a brilliant gold color.
This vintage has a nose of ripe fruit, with hints of pear, vine peach and citrus zest. On the second nose, aromas of dried fruit emerge.

The finish is dense, intense and energetic.
