Louis Roederer Brut Vintage Champagne 2016
Louis Roederer Brut Vintage 2016 is a Grand Cru Champagne of exceptional refinement from one of the Champagne region's most celebrated and historic houses, founded in 1776 and currently managed by Frederic Rouzaud. A blend of Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru of Verzy and Chardonnay from the Grand Cru of Chouilly, this is a vintage Champagne of real complexity, precision and elegance.
