'Hommage a Camille' Blanc 2020 Louis Roederer
Vendor code : 447
We are often asked about wine trends, so Coteaux Champenois is one of them. The release of Coteaux Champenois by Louis Roederer represents a still novelty and deserves a special comment. In 2002 Roederer planted vineyards of Burgundian selection in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ lieu-dit Charmont to produce red and white still wines. In terms of style, both wines are fine-boned, and precise, without Burgundian pretentiousness, but rather authentic, with a particular influence of the terroir of Champagne.

The 2020 'Hommage a Camille' Blanc wine is from a 0.55-hectare plot. In the glass, understated aromas of white flowers, lime blossom, citrus zest, almonds, and rock salt. Full-bodied and satiny, layered and seamless, with a bright line of freshness and an intense chalky finish. We believe age will go in its favor and the 'Hommage a Camille' Blanc will gain additional facets.
For over 200 years, Louis Roederer has been one of the rare independent and family-owned champagne houses. Louis Roederer gained widespread popularity largely thanks to Cristal, which Louis Roederer created in 1876 at the request of Alexander II. This once intensely sweet wine is now one of the most sought-after Champagnes, and the 1988-1990 vintage is among the top vintages, as are the 2008, 2012, and 2013 vintages. What seems so clear today was not so in the past. In 1845, after acquiring a plot in the grand cru of Verzenay, Louis Roederer planted vines. At the time, viticulture was not considered a lucrative endeavor, and his decision might have seemed unusual, to say the least. However, Louis' main goal was to have complete control over production. Since that time, all the wines of the Champagne House of Louis Roederer have been made exclusively from grapes grown in their vineyards, which is a rarity, especially for Champagne Houses of this caliber.
