The 2007 Brut Millésime from Louis Roederer is comprised of a blend of thirty percent
chardonnay and seventy percent pinot noir, with all of the chardonnay hailing from estate
vineyards in the Côte des Blancs and the pinot noir all from the house’s own vineyards on the
Montagne de Reims, with the furthest north villages used being Verzenay and Verzy, with the
exposition of the vineayrds towards the northeast, which helps retain acidity and precision in the
finished wine. The chardonnay in the blend for this wine is aged in old oak prior to blending,
without going through malo, to add roundness to the finished wine, without sacrificing cut and
grip. The 2007 is still a young wine, but it is absolutely stellar, wafting from the glass in a
mélange of apple, pear, kaleidoscopic minerality, brioche and a topnote of orange peel. On the
palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, young and racy, with a rock solid core, great focus and cut,
very elegant mousse and simply superb length and grip on the focused and seamless finish.
