The 2016 growing season in Champagne was marked by climatic contrasts, resulting in fruit with remarkable concentration balanced by fresh acidity. This wine is crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay, sourced from Roederer’s estate vineyards across Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA portion of the wine is vinified in oak, adding subtle texture and complexity, while extended ageing on lees enhances depth and finesse. The result is a Champagne that combines richness with structure, offering both immediate appeal and the capacity for further evolution. The house’s meticulous approach ensures that the wine retains clarity and vibrancy, even as it develops layered complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it reveals a harmonious interplay of ripe orchard fruit, citrus and delicate autolytic notes, underpinned by a fine mineral backbone. The 2016 vintage expresses both generosity and tension, with a refined mousse and precise structure guiding the palate. This Champagne is equally suited to celebratory occasions or gastronomic pairings, from shellfish and seafood to roasted poultry and creamy dishes. It is a compelling expression of vintage Champagne, balancing power with finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Expressive and refined\u003cbr\u003eAromas of ripe apple, pear and citrus zest layered with toasted brioche, almond and subtle floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Structured and harmonious\u003cbr\u003eMedium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity, showing orchard fruit, citrus and a creamy texture supported by fine mousse and gentle oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and elegant\u003cbr\u003eA persistent finish with lingering citrus, toasted nuts and a refined mineral edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The 2016 Brut Vintage is superb.
