✨ 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
Founded in 1776 as Dubois Père & Fils and renamed in 1833 by visionary entrepreneur Louis Roederer, Champagne Louis Roederer remains one of the rare independent, family-run prestige Champagne houses, stewarded today by the Rouzaud family. Based in Reims, the house commands over 240 hectares of premier and grand cru vineyards spread across the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne, distinguished by a profound commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture. Renowned for its masterly balance of power and finesse, Louis Roederer is globally celebrated for creating the world's first prestige cuvée, Cristal, commissioned in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia, alongside exceptional vintage Champagnes and its hallmark multi-vintage Collection cuvées.
