✨ Technical Specifications
Louis Roederer's 'Rich' NV is a modern homage to the historical, sweeter style of Champagne that dominated the grand courts of Europe, particularly 19th-century Russia, where sweet elixirs were the height of fashion. Crafted as a Demi-Sec, this cuvée blends Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, utilizing a significant proportion of oak-aged reserve wines to impart depth and structure. The higher dosage is masterfully balanced by the signature Roederer acidity, resulting in a wine of remarkable texture, creamy persistence, and vibrant freshness rather than cloying sweetness. It represents a bridge between classical heritage and contemporary epicurean pleasure.
🍾 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.
