The palate is elegant and creamy, showing citrus, white peach, pastry cream and a distinct saline mineral line that drives through a long, chalky finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1858\" data-end=\"2050\"\u003eThis is a refined vintage Champagne that drinks beautifully now but will continue to evolve gracefully over the next decade, developing greater toast, honey and nut complexity with cellar age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2052\" data-end=\"2192\"\u003ePerfect as a prestige aperitif Champagne or paired with oysters, scallop carpaccio, grilled king prawns, sushi, Dover sole or roast chicken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2194\" data-end=\"2212\"\u003eCritic Scores:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2213\" data-end=\"2380\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"5rplbq\" data-start=\"2213\" data-end=\"2268\"\u003e96 Points – \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"bea1o5\" data-start=\"2269\" data-end=\"2324\"\u003e95 Points – \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1sfxwj6\" data-start=\"2325\" data-end=\"2380\"\u003e92 Points – \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eRobert Parker Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Louis Roederer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45040372187336,"sku":null,"price":185.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/3790\/4328\/files\/LouisRoedererblancdeblanc.jpg?v=1774841411","url":"https:\/\/www.boccaccio.com.au\/products\/louis-roederer-blanc-de-blancs-2017","provider":" Boccaccio Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
