Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs 2010 (750ML)

94 JS / 93 VM / 92 WS

Reminiscent of a great Puligny with bubbles! A selection of four early ripening parcels from Avize. Very expressive flesh and weight, followed by an assertive core of deep set fruit. Toasty hazelnuts and autolysis warmth across lemon, grapefruit and nectarine. The palate has a smooth, playfully tart yet ripe feel. A very seductive, caressing finish. Drink now. - James Suckling

The 2010 Brut Blanc de Blancs shows just how compelling this cuvée can be in more favorable years, and 2010 had its share of challenges as well. Brisk, fresh and wonderfully nuanced, the 2010 exudes energy as well as a sense of transparency that is compelling. Time in bottle since release has only added flavor complexity and texture. Light on its feet and super-expressive, the 2010 Blanc de Blancs is one of the highlights in this range from Roederer. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

A mouthwatering Champagne that's well-meshed and elegant, setting expressive notes of golden raisin, pineapple pâte de fruit, slivered almond and pickled ginger on a finely detailed, satiny texture. Smoky finish. Drink now through 2026. 135 cases imported. - Alison Napjus, The Wine Spectator
