Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs Brut 2017

Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs Brut 2017 is a masterclass in Chardonnay purity — luminous, energetic and deeply expressive. Expect a Champagne that glides between tension and creaminess, opening with notes of lemon zest, white flowers and crisp green apple before unfurling into chalk, almond and delicate pastry. The palate is vibrant yet silky, carried by Roederer’s signature chalky minerality and a perfectly poised dosage. Fresh, linear and subtly luxurious, this vintage is both immediate in its charm and quietly built for the cellar.

The brightness and finesse of Blanc de Blancs 2017 make it a dream pairing with elegant, delicate dishes. Think oysters, sashimi, butter-poached lobster, scallop crudo, or champagne-friendly favourites like lemon sole, burrata with citrus, or a simple roast chicken with herbs. Its chalky tension also makes it an exceptional match for creamy cheeses and refined vegetarian dishes featuring asparagus, fennel or citrus.

Crafted exclusively from 100% Chardonnay, the 2017 Blanc de Blancs is sourced from the chalk-laden slopes of the Côte des Blancs — a region revered for producing Champagne of remarkable tension and refinement. Fermentation occurs in a combination of stainless steel and oak, followed by extended ageing on lees to build its hallmark creaminess and depth. The 2017 vintage shows exceptional purity, with a fine, persistent bead, a mineral spine drawn directly from chalk soils, and a precise Brut dosage that amplifies freshness without overshadowing complexity.

Founded in 1776, Louis Roederer stands today as one of Champagne’s greatest dynasties — an independent, family-run house renowned for meticulous vineyard stewardship and uncompromising quality. Roederer owns the majority of its own vineyards, including exceptional parcels in the Côte des Blancs, where pure chalk soils give life to their iconic Blanc de Blancs. The house is celebrated for precision, patience and a profound respect for terroir, crafting wines that balance elegance with enduring structure. From Brut Premier to Cristal, Roederer is synonymous with finesse, longevity and classical Champagne craftsmanship.
