The Louis Roederer Hommage à Camille Les Volibarts Blanc 2020 is a rare and refined still white wine from Champagne, produced from a single vineyard in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the region's most prestigious Chardonnay villages. Unlike Louis Roederer's sparkling Champagnes, this wine is produced under the Coteaux Champenois appellation, allowing the Chardonnay to express the character of the vineyard without secondary fermentation.
The wine comes from the Les Volibarts lieu-dit, a southeast-facing plot of old-vine Chardonnay covering approximately 55 ares. The cuvée forms part of Louis Roederer's Hommage à Camille collection, created as a tribute to Camille Olry-Roederer, who led the Champagne House from 1932 to 1975 and played an important role in developing its exceptional vineyard holdings.
The 2020 vintage was produced from 100% Chardonnay, with spontaneous fermentation and extended ageing on lees. The wine underwent a combination of vessel maturation, including stoneware/ceramic amphorae, stainless steel, and new French oak, creating a layered style that combines ripe fruit and creamy texture with the mineral freshness characteristic of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
Tasting Notes
Colour:
Deep golden yellow with luminous highlights.
Nose:
Complex and expressive with aromas of ripe Mirabelle plum, lemon, dried flowers, almond, roasted hazelnut, wheat, and subtle noble oak.
Palate:
Rich, concentrated, and silky with flavours of yellow fruit, citrus, almond, toasted hazelnut, and delicate spice. The palate has an almost creamy, rounded texture balanced by vibrant mineral acidity and a subtle savoury character.

Long, persistent, and refined with lingering roasted nuts, ripe citrus, mineral freshness, and finely integrated oak.
