. ROEDERER 96JS 2015 Crafted by the Champagne House renowned for producing the iconic Cristal, the elegant 96 pt. 2015 Louis Roederer Brut Champagne offers aromatic zesty layers of rich fruit hinting of toasted brioche with vibrant acidity and an enticing mineral-laced finish rising on a steady stream of fine bubbles, an outstanding vintage Champagne bargain priced at a fraction of Roederer’s prestige cuvee to enjoy often over the upcoming holiday season and beyond. With a family history in Reims dating back to 1776, Louis Roederer inherited the champagne house that would become known as Champagne Louis Roederer in 1833, remaining one of the few family-run houses in the region for over two centuries and now managed by seventh generation Frederic Rouzaud. Considered a visionary as one of the first producers to recognize the influence of terroir on Champagne, Louis Roederer acquired 15 hectares in the Verzenay Grand Cru in 1845 to have better control over how the grapes were grown, Roederer's holdings expanding over the next 150 years to 240 hectares of 1er and Grand Cru vineyards and producing its Champagne exclusively from estate vines, a rarity in the region. A blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, the high elevation estate vineyards in Verzy are known for producing Pinot Noir that adds freshness, structure and complexity, while the Chardonnay grown in the cooler Chouilly vineyards contributes elegance and minerality to the 2015 vintage Brut. Employing strict selection and vinifying parcel by parcel, Roederer Chef de Cave Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon vinified 34% of the refined 2015 Louis Roederer Brut in oak casks with only a portion going through malolactic before aging it in bottle for 4 years, adding a relatively low 8 g. dosage upon disgorgement and storing it for at least six more months in the cellars to reveal richly textured fruit with fresh lively acidity and a creamy pin point mousse that begs for another sip. Summed up by the Wine Advocate’s William Kelley as “a lovely Champagne,” the enticing 96 pt. 2015 Louis Roederer Brut reflects the House’s long-standing reputation for crafting exceptional vineyard-driven Champagne from the region’s top terroirs, an elegant vintage Champagne that’s well-priced for stocking the cooler to enjoy often, no special occasion required.
