The Louis Roederer Hommage à Camille Les Volibarts Blanc 2022 is a rare single-vineyard Coteaux Champenois made from 100% Chardonnay in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of Champagne's most distinguished Chardonnay villages. Unlike Louis Roederer's famous sparkling Champagnes, this is a still white wine, allowing the vineyard and vintage to take centre stage.
The wine comes from Les Volibarts, a historic 55-are southeast-facing parcel planted with old Chardonnay vines. The cuvée belongs to Louis Roederer's Hommage à Camille collection, created in tribute to Camille Olry-Roederer and her pioneering role in developing the House's exceptional vineyard holdings.
The 2022 vintage is particularly expressive, combining ripe citrus and orchard fruit with dried flowers and roasted nut character. According to the Wine Advocate, the wine was aged 40% in ceramic amphorae, 20% in stainless steel, with the remainder in new oak, giving it both textural richness and mineral freshness.
