Tasting Notes & Experience
A brilliant golden hue introduces aromas of jasmine, orange blossom, lemon zest and chalky sea breeze. Subtle hints of toasted almond and wheat emerge with aeration. The palate is creamy and caressing, evolving into a lively wave of citrus, minerality and powdery freshness. Smooth and saline on the finish, it lingers with luminous intensity and finesse.

Craftsmanship & Story
Drawn from Roederer’s finest grands crus in Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Chouilly, this Blanc de Blancs expresses the purest face of Champagne’s chalk soils. Each parcel is organically farmed, hand-harvested and vinified separately before four years’ lees ageing and six months’ cellar rest post-disgorgement. The result is a wine of crystalline focus, where texture, minerality and precision meet in perfect harmony.
Special Features
Produced in limited quantities, Blanc de Blancs is a triumph of Côte des Blancs Chardonnay — slender, luminous and sculpted by limestone freshness. Its creamy, powdery texture and saline drive reflect Roederer’s signature balance between depth and grace.
