WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs 2016 is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes. A portion of the wine (28%) is aged in oak casks, while malolactic fermentation is deliberately avoided to maintain freshness. Fermentation is managed at low pressure to create a refined effervescence. The wine is aged for an average of five years on its lees, followed by a minimum of six months of rest after disgorgement.
