The making of Louis Roederer's 2015 Vintage Champagne

Louis Roederer's Vintage 2015 champagne was born from a clear desire to capture the signature of a year marked by sunshine and rare concentration. Carefully crafted, this Louis Roederer vintage is based on a balanced and thoughtful blend that highlights the potential of the house's great terroirs.

The 2015 Vintage cuvée is made from:

• 70% Pinot Noir: mainly from Verzy, it brings structure, power and intense notes of red and dried fruit.
• 30% Chardonnay: originating in Chouilly, it brings freshness, elegance and finesse.

The terroir

The grapes come from the Grands Crus of the Montagne de Reims (Verzy) and the Côte des Blancs (Chouilly), two iconic regions offering complementary profiles. Verzy, with its deep limestone soils, magnifies the richness of Pinot Noir. Chouilly, with its chalky soils, produces precise and luminous Chardonnays. This duo of terroirs forges the soul of this cuvée.

Vinification

Louis Roederer takes particular care in the vinification process. For this cuvée, 34% of the wines were aged in wood, enhancing their aromatic complexity. 24% of the juices underwent malolactic fermentation, softening the aromas while maintaining a vibrant tension. The wine is aged for several years on fine lees in the house's historic cellars. The dosage is 8 g/l, positioning the cuvée in the Brut category, with a perfect balance between richness and freshness.

The 2015 vintage

2015 was an exceptional continental year. The winter was mild and wet, followed by a hot, dry summer with peaks of heat. A welcome rain in August allowed for ideal ripening. The result: juicy, concentrated grapes with remarkable maturity. This vintage combines sunny generosity and balanced freshness, offering an intense and racy cuvée.

Tasting notes

• Color

  The 2015 vintage is a deep yellow color with golden and amber highlights. The effervescence is lively and dynamic, reflecting beautiful aging on the lees.

• Nose

  The nose reveals an explosion of tart red fruits (redcurrant) mixed with sun-ripened yellow fruits (mirabelle plum, vine peach). With aeration, aromas of dried fruit, smoke and spice (white pepper) emerge, typical of Pinot Noir from the Montagne region.

• Palate

  On the palate, this champagne is full-bodied, dynamic and concentrated. Its structure is lively, chiseled, almost classic. The fruitiness fades gently to give way to chocolate and roasted notes. The finish is salty, candied and flavorful, with a smooth and graceful elegance.
