Louis Roederer "Carte Blanche" Extra Dry Champagne

SKU #1050136 Wine Enthusiast

 Despite its description as 'extra dry,' this is in fact sweeter than a brut. This is fresh and fruity, with an attractive apple-purée flavor, balanced by crisp acidity and a light, bright finish.  (12/ 2012)

K&L Notes

Extra dry Champagnes are actually given more sugar than brut Champagnes, up to 17 grams per liter. The blend is one-third Chardonnay and two-thirds Pinots (Pinot Meunier making up about 10% of the blend), and the wine is aged for three years on the lees. This is the perfect after dinner Champagne and goes very well with fruit tarts and other delicate desserts. It is also just a great drink when you feel like something a little bit sweeter. (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne buyer)

Very floral nose with hints of fresh baked bread with butter and an unidentifiable sweetness (like somehting mixed with noney)...

Flavors of toasted nuts marry harmoniously with a certain creamy, almost vanilla like quality that seems to rest on a bed of marzipan sweetness...

Tiny bubbles tickling my palate and give way to a crisp clean finish of peaches and cream with a bit of toastyness/bitterness reminiscent of almosds roasted very dark...I also get a bet of grapefruit...

One of the best non-vintage Champagnes I've ever tried...

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of 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.

Sub-Region:

Champagne

- The French region of Champagne (comprised of the towns of Rheims, Epernay, and Ay) 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 winemaking 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 from the basic brut (often blends of several vintages), single vintage champagnes, and rose. View our bestselling Champagne.
