Louis Roederer Late Release Champagne 1996 - Champagne, France

Time plays an important part in the taste of Champagne, a factor Louis Roederer celebrates with its Late Release Vintage collection; the line shares small quantities of limited edition Champagne that had been left to age in the cellars before being carefully selected by the cellar master. This 1996 vintage benefitted from a dry and sunny summer, where grapes were spared the damage from the harvest period’s heavy rain. The result? A powerful, concentrated Champagne, with a fresh entry and soft notes of fruit and sweet spice.
