A strikingly pure and elegant expression of Chardonnay from the chalk-rich slopes of Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs. Produced only in outstanding vintages, this Champagne reflects both the finesse of its terroir and Roederer’s precision winemaking. The cool, late-ripening 2016 vintage yielded grapes of exceptional balance — bright acidity and depth of fruit — perfectly suited to this refined style.

Pale gold with a fine, persistent mousse, it opens with delicate aromas of citrus zest, white peach, chalk, and fresh hazelnut, evolving into subtle notes of brioche and cream. On the palate, it’s both taut and silky, combining tension with generosity — lemon, pear, and green apple interwoven with saline minerality and a whisper of pastry richness. The finish is long, pure, and mouth-watering. A Champagne of remarkable poise and clarity, Roederer Blanc de Blancs 2016 is ideal as an apéritif or paired with oysters, scallops, or fine sushi — a true expression of Chardonnay in its most graceful form.

Chardonnay (100%)

Chardonnay is one of the most versatile and widely planted white grape varieties in the world, renowned for its adaptability to diverse climates and winemaking styles. Originating in Burgundy, where it reaches its most elegant and mineral expression, Chardonnay can range from crisp and steely to rich and opulent, depending on where and how it is made. Its relatively neutral character allows it to reflect both terroir and technique—whether aged in stainless steel for a lean, citrus-driven profile, or in oak barrels to develop notes of vanilla, toast, and creamy texture. Flavours often include apple, pear, lemon, peach, and tropical fruits, with cool-climate examples offering tension and minerality, while warmer regions yield fuller, rounder styles. From Chablis to Napa, Margaret River to Sicily, Chardonnay remains a benchmark for quality and diversity in white wine.
