Heiner Lobenberg om:
Champagne Brut Vintage 2016

/100

Årgangen er altid overvejende baseret på Pinot Noir fra Verzy, som kommer fra et af Roederers ældste terroirs kaldet "La Montagne". Omkring 30 procent Chardonnay fra Chouilly i den nordlige del af Côte des Blancs giver friskhed. Omkring en tredjedel af basisvinen er modnet på træ. Mindst 4 år på gæren og derefter seks måneder på flaske, før den sælges. Moden gul stenfrugt, mirabeller, kvæde, hindbær og ribs skaber tilsammen et komplekst og harmonisk helhedsbillede. Den er fint afbalanceret, cremet og ekstremt drikkelig og viser al sin charme. Den er hedonistisk og tilgængelig i sin fortolkning. Chic!

Suckling om: Champagne Brut Vintage

Complex nose of restrained strawberries and lemon zest, with macerated flowers and shortbread. Full body and plenty of concentration, with pinprick mousse, long and chewy, integrated acidity and amazing length. Pinot noir and chardonnay. Drink or hold.

Lisa Perrotti Brown om: Champagne Brut Vintage

The 2016 Vintage Brut is a blend of 68% Pinot Noir and 32% Chardonnay with 7 grams per liter of dosage. Only 5% of the blend underwent malo-lactic, and 33% of the base wines were aged in French oak. Showy notes of Red Delicious apples, ripe pears, honeycomb, and cashews prance out of the glass, giving way to underlying orange blossom and fresh ginger scents. To its credit, the palate is on the dry side, with its sweetness coming from ripe fruit as opposed to added dosage, offset by supportive yet skillfully balanced acidity, showcasing the ripe, nuanced, seductive fruit, finishing long and creamy. More gregarious than its 2016 Cristal counterpart, this is a flamboyant yet age-worthy Vintage Brut. Love it.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Champagne Brut Vintage

The 2016 Champagne Vintage Brut is the new release and is composed of 70% Pinot Noir from Verzy and the rest Chardonnay from Chouilly. A slightly richer golden straw hue, it has a floral bouquet on the nose and is a very pretty vintage of this wine aromatically. It’s sappy with lemon confit and is salty throughout the palate, revealing the weight of the Pinot Noir but retaining wonderful freshness. This lovely wine is going to take some time to open aromatically, but it’s going to be worth the wait. Drink it over the coming 15 years. It’s a going to be a stunning wine for pairings. 7 gram per liter dosage in this wine and in the collection.

Wine Spectator om: Champagne Brut Vintage

A seamless Champagne, deftly knitting flavors of crushed black raspberry, tangerine peel, chalk and Marcona almond with the fine china–like acidity and satiny mousse. The graceful balance gives this an effortless feel, but there's intensity and drive to this well-tailored version. Long and fragrant on the finish, with hints of ground ginger, blood orange zest and mineral. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2040.

Parker om: Champagne Brut Vintage

Louis Roederer's 2016 Brut Vintage is derived primarily from Pinot Noir from Verzy and incorporates 32% Chardonnay from Chouilly, though this is about to change with the 2019 release, when it will become a pure Verzy, giving stronger identity to the village. The soil here is rich in clay, and the slopes face east, explains Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon. Disgorged in June 2024 with seven grams per liter dosage, it wafts from the glass with a bouquet of juicy pear, red berries, hazelnut and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and textural, it has a slightly richer core of fruit compared to the more delicate and citrusy Blanc de Blancs and will richly reward a few additional years under cork.
