✨ Technical Specifications
Louis Roederer's Carte Blanche Extra Dry is a beautiful tribute to the historic, sweeter style of Champagne that dominated the 19th century, particularly favored by the grand imperial courts of Europe. Crafted in a Demi-Sec style with a dosage of approximately 38 grams per liter, this cu%v%ee is a classic blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, incorporating reserve wines aged in oak tuns. The wine undergoes three years of cellar aging followed by six months of post-disgorgement resting. This meticulous process yields a Champagne of remarkable volume, creamy texture, and a delicate honeyed sweetness, beautifully balanced by the signature Roederer freshness and vibrant acidity.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in Reims in 1776 and renamed upon Louis Roederer’s succession in 1833, Champagne Louis Roederer stands as one of the region’s preeminent independent, family-owned Grandes Marques. Spanning 250 hectares predominantly situated within Grands and Premiers Crus across the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs, the estate prioritizes exceptional estate-owned viticulture. Under Chief Executive Frédéric Rouzaud and long-tenured Chef de Cave Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, the house has pioneered large-scale viticultural regenerative transitions, with vast holdings certified organic and farmed biodynamically. The winemaking style combines parcel-by-parcel vinification, judicious large-oak maturation, and blocked malolactic fermentation to preserve chalk-driven tension, textural depth, and crystalline purity. Louis Roederer is internationally renowned for creating Cristal—the iconic prestige cuvée developed in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II—alongside Cristal Rosé, vintage-dated parcel expressions, and the dynamic multi-vintage Collection series based on a perpetual reserve system.
