Louis Roederer Coteaux Champenois 'Hommage a Camille' Rouge 2020
Vendor code : 448
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 a red and a white still wine. Stylistically, both wines are fine-boned, precise, without Burgundian pretentiousness, but rather authentic, with a particular influence from the terroir of Champagne.

The 'Hommage a Camille' Pinot Noir 2020 wine is from a 0.43-hectare plot. In the glass, restrained aromas of raspberry, strawberry confit, flowers, and spices. On the palate, delicately chalky tannins, bright balanced acidity. In our opinion, age will benefit it, and ''Hommage a Camille'' Pinot Noir will acquire 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.
