Louis Roederer Blanc de Blanc

A bouquet of white flowers (jasmine, orange blossom), lemon zest and wheat complemented by an impression of iodine freshness, sea spray, sea breeze and powdered chalk.  A few smoky notes and a reductive, calcareous quality, reminiscent of grilled almonds, emerge after aeration. The palate is creamy and caressing, revealing softness and finesse; coated velvet-like textures that quickly give way to fresh, marine, powdery and concentrated sensations.  One has the impression of biting into a ripe, juicy fruit bursting with a lingering and mouth-watering zesty freshness.  The finish is smooth, saline and stretches out like a shaft of sunshine, luminous and drying yet never brittle.
