Carte Blanche Demi-Sec

The Carte Blanche Demi-Sec is the sweet cuvée from Louis Roederer. It brings together wines from eight years: roughly 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier, of which 5% is vinified in oak casks. Three years of ageing in the cellar give it depth. The dosage is 45 g/l.

In the glass it shows a luminous gold with a lively mousse. On the nose, tarte Tatin, blossom and honey meet frangipane and hazelnut. On the palate it is creamy and voluminous, yet freshness and acidity keep it taut, and the finish stays precise and mineral. That makes it a companion for desserts, such as fruit tart, almond pastries or crème brûlée. Serve it well chilled, at 6 to 8 °C, in a white wine glass or a tulip. It comes in a gift box.
