 Tasted by AlphaMikeFoxtrot on 3/29/2024 & rated 93 points: Blood orange, lemon peel, limestone on the nose. Medium + intensity of aromas. The palate adds ripe strawberries, cream ripe yellow peach, sesame seed, and fresh nuts. Texturally smooth and rounded. Well balanced with a high intensity of flavors. nice finish that lasts about 25 seconds.

Medium body with great zippy medium + acid. Intense mousse that lingers. Really delicious, especially for "big house" Champagne. Developing. Will continue to improve in the bottle for 3-5 more years. (545 views)
 Tasted by kostaslonis on 3/1/2024: Sampled at Oinoscent, courtesy of customer
Fresh, red cherry, thick fruit core, some yeast note, overripe pink grapefruit, thick oak frame.
Palate is juicy, full body, nice texture, high acidity, balanced co2, fruit forward, salinity, mineral, again yeast, toast, long finish (628 views)
 Tasted by Jofauk on 2/4/2024 & rated 92 points: Drank Friday and Sunday night. Full, fruity, yet crisp and youthfull. Wonderful. (664 views)
 Tasted by Vinnut on 1/8/2024 & rated 92 points: Pale pink salmon in color & a steady mousse. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of strawberries, raspberries & citrus notes with lovely floral & yeasty notes, stony & minerals undertones in the background. Medium light bodied with a good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, zesty, ripe fruit flavors of sweet strawberries, raspberries and citrus with some yeastiness, spices & minerals. Lingering crisp finish. Drinks quite well at present but it may develop further with additional aging at which time it may merit a higher score (93+). (997 views)
 Tasted by Eriklainen on 1/1/2024: Not bad. But food oriented. A little flat, a little lemonadeish without the sugar. The rose aspect seemed lika an add on. Perhaps improves with age. The ingredients seem to keep high quality... (611 views)
 Tasted by La Cave d'Argent on 1/1/2024 & rated 92 points: Light salmon in color, the 2016 iteration of Roederer's Vintage Brut Rosé (a blend of 62% Pinot Noir and 38% Chardonnay) is aromatically effusive of red currants, tangerines, clementines, cardamom and brioche. Medium-bodied and with a brisk tiny bead, it delivers comparable flavors, adding a small dollop of wood and notes of saline. Energetic and dense in the middle, it moves on to a lengthy, mineral-laden finish. Enjoy this delicious pink sparkler on any occasion throughout the remainder of this decade. Drink now-2030.

Pronounced aromas of strawberry, red cherry, watermelon, green apple, pear, apple crumble, fresh biscuits, lemon zest, bees wax, wet stone, white flowers.

Pronounced palate.

Medium body, high acidity, creamy mouse, long finish. (587 views)
 Tasted by Maarten1989 on 11/9/2023 & rated 91 points: Nice pale pink glass of wine with a delicate bubble. A tiny hint of sweet strawberries in the nose, some yeast tones with something sweet. The taste is great with some fruitiness and yeast flavors. The aftertaste is rich in acidity which gives an indication of the aging potential. This wine is now already a joy to drink but will get better. (592 views)
 Tasted by kostaslonis on 9/11/2023: Louis Roederer tasting (Point Hotel, Athens): 70% pinot noir 30% chardonnay
The wine shows ripe strawberry, cherry, currant, there is a certain platic/veggie note (could be from the glass though), a few toasty notes
Palate is much smoother, ripe fruit, nutty, a lot more layered and structured, cherry, currant, med body, nice carbonation, smooth, nice tasty long finish (599 views)
 Tasted by WineBurrowingWombat on 6/23/2023 & rated 93 points: Tasting a few Louis Roederer champagnes (K&L Wine Merchant - Redwood City): Light aromas of stiff, unripened strawberries (the type that unfortunately never gets ripe and stays permanently white and pink), a really subtle honey note and some minerals.

On the palate are gentle soft red fruits mixed with some yellow fruits that gives an impression of pink fruits, bitter minerals, pleasantly bitter hay. The flavors of hay have a much stronger bitterness but somehow doesn't detract from the tastiness of it all. (1239 views)
 Tasted by WindFlyer on 6/23/2023 & rated 93 points: Champagne appreciation - Louis Roederer: fresh strawberries and raspberries lead the bouquet, enhanced by roses, hay, and whiffs of pastry. and fresh, not-quite-ripe strawberries is where it starts in the mouth with a ringing acidity and dryness. slightly sweet brioche notes develop mid palate, broadening the texture and interplaying with blood orange and hay flavours. long finish that turns saline.

accessible and well-balanced at the moment, it could yet improve some more.

dosed at 8 g/L; blend of 62% Pinot Noir/ 38% Chard. (698 views)
 Tasted by Joshvoulters on 5/17/2023 & rated 86 points: Lay & Wheeler Summer tasting: Deep, bassy nose. Strawberry, raspberry and white blossom top notes. Sweet - almost off-dry on the palate and I found it rather cloying. You'd need to match this to food carefully to play off its rather distinct character. (655 views)
 Tasted by JensAgo on 4/29/2023 & rated 93 points: The Art of Consistency as evidenced vintage after vintage by Roederer, here is for #champagne2023, now bottle #18, & the striking Rosé in the 16 vintage (62/38, PN/CH). Yes, a price increase, yet still among the most solid rosé champagnes out there. Salmon, fine & relaxed pearlage in appearance. Snapping nose w scents of fresh blood orange, strawberries & raspberries, melon, grapefruit, hints of brioche. Super-fresh medium-bodied palate, vivid acidic structure, blood orange-dominated w a grippy-dryish finish. Bang! (725 views)

France - When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of consistent quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them. Click for a list of bestselling items from all of France.
Sub-Region:

Champagne - The French region of Champagne (including the cities of Rheims, Épernay, and Aÿ) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and wine-making traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range in sweetness ranging from an extra brut or brut 0, to the basic brut to demi sec to doux; some houses produce single vintage champagnes and others produce non-vintage (or incorporate wines/grapes of multiple vintages), often to preserve a specific taste; combinations of grape varietals; and colors, including a rosé. There are several sub-appellations, including the Valley of the Marnes river running from Épernay west, Massif de Saint-Thierry north and west of Rheims, Valley of the Ardre, the Mountains of Rheims (between Rheims and Épernay), Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne, and Côte des Bar in the South. Champagne wine only uses three grape varietals (cépages): Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.
