The 2016 Louis Roederer Vintage Brut Deluxe Magnum (1500ml) is a distinguished vintage Champagne that reflects the balance, depth and precision for which Louis Roederer is renowned. Produced from a carefully selected blend of traditional Champagne varieties, the 2016 vintage combines ripe fruit concentration with freshness derived from the region’s cool climate and chalk-rich soils. The nose is complex and inviting, offering aromas of citrus, white peach and pear alongside notes of brioche, toasted hazelnut and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a fine, persistent mousse and vibrant acidity. Layers of lemon curd, orchard fruit and stone fruit unfold across a textured palate, complemented by delicate pastry notes and a refined mineral character. The wine shows impressive structure and harmony, finishing long and elegant with lingering freshness and complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Champagne enthusiasts seeking a vintage expression with both immediate appeal and cellaring potential. The magnum format allows the wine to mature gracefully and makes it ideal for sharing over a special meal. Pair with oysters, lobster, seared scallops, roast poultry or creamy seafood dishes. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to develop additional complexity over the next 8–15 years.
