Champagne Louis Roederer Carte Blanche is a Demi Sec Champagne; it is richer and sweeter than the standard Champagne Louis Roederer Brut Premier.
Champagne Louis Roederer, established in 1776, is one of the last remaining completely independent, family-owned Champagne houses. By 1886 the House had achieved such a reputation for quality that the second Louis Roederer was asked by Tsar Alexander II to create the luxury cuvée Cristal for the exclusive use of the Russian Tsars, and in so doing created the first Cuvée de Prestige.
Roederer owns just over 200 hectares of vineyards located in the finest areas of Champagne – Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs. Each vineyard is situated in the finest sites, with the plots ranking between 95% and 100% on the Echelle des Crus. This makes Roederer self-sufficient for 100% of its vintage styles and provides two-thirds of its production for Brut Premier. Such a high proportion of “estate” grapes is very unusual in Champagne and ensures superior quality at all stages from grape to glass.
Champagne Louis Roederer Carte Blanche is slightly sweet, smooth and creamy; an ideal dessert wine. The higher dosage gives the wine a pleasant sweetness without masking its complexity and elegance.
Carte Blanche offers intense floral tones (honey) and notes of ripe sweet fruits (caramelised apple), and warm sugar almonds (frangipane). Dosage adds a rich, creamy texture with great length but without being heavy. The freshness of the wine supports this length bringing a well-balanced and highly persistent wine.
This is a great Champagne for people who don’t like dry Champagnes.
It is also a good dessert wine, try it with fruit or cream-based desserts. Pairs well with blue cheeses, spicy dishes or a square of fine milk chocolate.
