Fascinated by the diverse aromatic qualities of the Pinot Noir grapes in Champagne, Louis Roederer uses the structure and power of the Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims to create its Vintage.

Exposed to the north-east, the grapes mature more slowly and produce wines that are sometimes tights and closed at the beginning of the ageing process, but their character intensifies and becomes more refined through ageing in wood over long periods.

In 1850, Louis Roederer acquired 15 hectares in the Grand Cru vineyard of Verzy in order to master the cultivation of the grapes in this Cuvée.
