2016 Rosé Champagne Millesimato Louis Roederer Box

Champagne Rosé Millesimato 2016 Louis Roederer

The Champagne Rosé Millesimato 2016 by Louis Roederer interprets one of the most interesting vintages of the house with great balance, combining fruity richness, finesse, and a savory structure of extraordinary precision. The box format makes it a refined choice for an important gift or to celebrate a special occasion with a rosé Champagne of strong personality.

Territory and wine style

This Champagne is born from the vineyard of La Rivière, with origins from the crus of Cumières and Chouilly, two areas that help define the wine's identity. The blend consists of 62% Pinot Noir and 38% Chardonnay, with a small portion of wines aged in wood and a dosage of 8 g/l. The style is that of an elegant and gastronomic vintage rosé, obtained from a long and delicate infusion of Pinot Noir that preserves freshness, aromatic purity, and depth.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents with salmon pink hues and bright red reflections, of intense and luminous color. The bouquet is broad and generous, with hints of peach, nectarine, currant, blood orange, and nuances of apricot. On the palate, it impresses with a caressing, juicy, and concentrated attack, immediately balanced by a saline and chalky freshness that provides tension and lift. The texture is velvety, the effervescence fine and delicate, while the finish leaves a long, savory, and slightly bitter sensation, with a subtle tannic trace.

Recommended pairings

The Champagne Rosé Millesimato 2016 Louis Roederer pairs with great versatility to high-profile dishes: tuna or salmon tartare, shellfish, delicate risottos, white meats in elegant preparations, roasted duck, and not overly spicy fusion cuisine. Excellent also with sushi and sashimi, thanks to its saline freshness and fruity component, or with soft and flavorful cheeses that are not overly aged.

Serving temperature

Serve the Champagne Rosé Millesimato 2016 Louis Roederer at 8-10 °C, preferably in a wide glass to enhance its aromas. It does not require decantation but can benefit from a few minutes in the glass to better open up in the aromatic profile.

Why buy it

The signature of Louis Roederer, the 2016 vintage, and the box format make it an ideal bottle for a prestigious gift, for a celebration, or to enrich the cellar with a rosé capable of uniting depth, freshness, and great persistence.
