Louis Roederer's Vintage 2012 is a superb cuvée, evoking citrus fruits and spices. An aperitif cuvée that will also resonate well with fish in sauce or white meat.
2012 was a difficult year in Champagne, thanks to the climate. The difficult weather conditions produced rich, full-bodied, structured wines worthy of Champagne's greatest vintages.
Roederer Vintage 2012 is a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, partially aged in wood to add a gourmet touch and open up the wine. Its dosage is Brut (9g / l) to bring roundness to the wine.
This cuvée has a golden color with slightly amber highlights.
Its bouquet is subtle, showing a certain reserve on the nose. It evokes citrus fruits and warmer, almost smoky mineral notes. On the second nose, notes of oak barrel ageing with a hint of toasted almond come to the fore.
The attack is energetic, but the texture is silky and caressing. The finish offers superb persistence.
