Is Vintage Champagne Worth the Hype? Absolutely – and Then Some. Vintage Champagne is the pinnacle of the region's artistry, and Louis Roederer 2016 is a shining example of why. Only the top 20% of Champagne vineyards—often Grand and Premier Cru sites—are selected for vintage bottlings. Made exclusively from grapes harvested in a single exceptional year, this style is all about intensity, complexity, and age-worthiness. What sets it apart? Extended aging on lees (time spent with yeast cells) adds layers of texture, depth, and savoury richness. The 2016 release from Roederer, one of Champagne’s most prestigious houses, showcases the elegance and finesse for which they are world-renowned. With significant holdings in Grand Cru vineyards, their vintage Champagne is truly the crème de la crème. Presented in a stunning gift box, this is the ultimate statement bottle—for a celebration, a collector, or simply to savour something exceptional. Vintage Champagne isn’t just sparkling wine… it’s liquid luxury.

The nose is refined and complex, showing brioche, toasted hazelnuts, lemon curd, and white peach, with underlying mineral notes and a hint of almond cream.

On the palate, it’s precise and powerful, with a beautifully textured mousse and a rich core of citrus zest, baked apple, and stone fruit, layered with pastry, chalky minerality, and subtle spice from extended lees aging. The finish is long, elegant, and saline, with a vibrancy that promises excellent ageing potential. A stunning vintage with both structure and finesse—a benchmark expression of Louis Roederer's Grand Cru pedigree. The wonders of vintage Champagne. Resistance is futile, it’s worth it….. Perfect drinking tonight, it will make every occasion special or cellar for 4-5 years and serve with your favourite canapes. The recommended serving temperature is 6-8 degrees.
