Tasting Notes

WE 100

This latest incarnation of the famous brand is a superb wine. It is on par with, maybe even better than, the already legendary 2002. Its balance is impeccable: Apple and citrus flavors working with the tight minerality to give a textured yet fruity wine. Produced from Roederer's own vineyards which are mainly biodynamic, the wine has its own intense purity and crispness. It has amazing potential and is likely to age for many years. Drink from 2020.

About Winery

Louis Roederer Champagne was founded in 1776 in Reims, France, originally as Dubois Père & Fils. In 1833, Louis Roederer took over and renamed the house, pioneering a unique approach by acquiring vineyards to control grape quality—a rare move at the time. The brand gained international fame, especially in Russia, where Tsar Alexander II commissioned the creation of Cristal in 1876, the first prestige cuvée. Despite historical challenges like the Russian Revolution and Prohibition, Roederer remained resilient and family-owned. Today, it stands as one of the few independent Champagne houses, known for its commitment to biodynamic viticulture and producing world-renowned cuvées like Cristal.
