It’s been a long night in Avize!! We started at 2 am & mitigated this night of frost by maintaining the temperature at -0,8 degrees Celsius! Thank you #TeamRoederer for saving some of our most beautiful Chardonnays! #WineLife #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

Final tasting of our #RoseVintage 2025: three options are blind tasted this morning. The clear winner combines deliciousness, juiciness & finesse! 72% infused Pinot noir from Cumières & Mareuil-sur-Ay co-fermented with 28% Chardonnay from Chouilly #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

That time of the year! Spring frost #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

Happy Spring Equinox! Our cover crops have done a beautiful job of auto fertilization of the soil for the last 7 months. They will be mowed next week to let the vines unfold for the new season! #NewChapter #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

After 3 years of rest (fallow), we replant some iconic plots at Louis Roederer : « Goutte d’Or » in Ay for #CristalChampagne, « Chalmont » in Cumières for #RoseVintage, « Les Chèvres Pierreuses » in Cumières for #BrutNature … and more! #BestPartoftheFuture #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

Good morning « Les Volibarts », Le Mesnil-sur-Oger! #HommageaCamille #CoteauxChampenois #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

#Harvest25 « vins clairs » showcasing the « horizontal » individuality of each #CristalChampagne plot from 2025 vintage & « vertical » complexity with a focus on Ay, « Goutte d’Or » 2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016 and Avize, « Clos d’Avize » 2007, 2015 & 2018! #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

Beautiful #Harvest25 chardonnays from Cramant, Avize & Le Mesnil-sur-Oger for #CristalChampagne When finesse & silky texture meet to create this unique feeling of deliciousness & freshness at the same time! #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

Wow! What a magic tasting! #CristalChampagne Verzenay, Verzy & Beaumont-sur-Vesle #Harvest25 and the wonderful news of « Most Admired #Champagne Brand »! What else? #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

Spring is on the way! Time for the final tasting of all the #CristalChampagne Pinots noirs plots from #Harvest25 located on the chalkiest slopes of Ay & the infusions for Cristal rosé. Beautiful definition, effortless texture & chalky saline finish! #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

First trials on rosé infusions from #Harvest25 … very beautiful density, texture & perfumes but way too early to decide! Simply needs more time to deliver its full potential! #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

The timeless #LouisRoederer signature is finalized in #Collection250 thanks to the addition of 10% of oak-aged reserve wines sourced from older vintages. They are #CristalChampagne single vineyards wines kept 10 years or more in our 160 french oak casks! #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

Once again our Reserve Perpétuelle played a central role in the making of #Collection250 : at 35%, it brings a reductive bouquet, a textural complexity & a chalky finish. With this amazing feeling of freshness that amplifies the #Champagne signature #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

The final blend of #Collection250 is made of 42% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot noir & 28% Meunier. A low 26% malolactic fermentation & a high 33% oak fermented wines! Somewhat a very « classic » blend! Let’s now work with Reserves! #Harvest25 #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

Blind tasting is always the answer! #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

#Harvest25 Pinot noir & Meunier are adding their strength this year: Pinot brings structure & elegance while Meunier adds texture & deliciousness. A seamless integration! In the Montage de Reims there is an extra density! #Collection250 #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

First step is all about the #Harvest25 wines: finding the right ratio of Chardonnay is challenging as they are pretty ripe & fruity. The level of malolactic wines in the blend is also critical if we want to keep a bright freshness! #Collection250 #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

Here we go! First blending trials for #Collection250 . This is the 250th blend of multivintage since the foundation of #LouisRoederer #Foundedin1776 #Family #TeamRoederer #ArtofBlending #Champagne #InPursuitofTaste -JBL

Bottling day! #HommageaCamille #CoteauxChampenois 2024 Chardonnay from “Les Volibarts”, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger #InPursuitofTaste -JBL
