Champagne Theophile, Brut. Champagne Théophile is today the successor of “Théo” champagne which enjoyed its heyday in the 1930s when honourable establishments of Montparnasse served it to regale artists and night-owls alike. Théophile is now produced by Louis Roederer in keeping in the style which made its success. It should not be considered Roederer’s second wine as stylistically it is distinct to Roederer. There is a genuine family relationship, however, with key differences setting this champagne apart and making it all the more intriguing. Théophile is made from younger vines in the Louis Roederer vineyard, with all the freshness of vines no more than eight to ten years old.
Wine type: champagne - Louis Roederer, Theophile Brut
Alcohol content: 12°
Region: Reims - France.
Grape/blend: 1/3 Chardonnay, 1/3 Pinot Nero, 1/3 Meunier
Type soil: the soil is poor and rocky, the temperature is ideal in summer (partly due to the micro-climate created by the local wind, the Ora del Garda): vines here still co-exist alongside olive groves.The valley is more open here and the excellent sun exposure allows the grapes to ripen to perfection. The Montagne de Reims lies on a deep bed of chalk.
Colour: a pale light gold with long-lasting fine bubbles.
Aroma: on the nose there is a rich, subtle bouquet with hints of white flowers and hawthorn. The mouth offers a lively bite with a creamy structure
Tasting notes: it is perfectly balanced, full-bodied and generous, with a refined, lip-puckering zing adding just the right touch of provocation.
Serving suggestions: appetizers and first courses fish-based, oyster scallops and seafood.
Please note that it is an offence to purchase or attempt to purchase alcoholic liquor if you are under the age of 18.
Editor's note: The cuvées of the House of Louis Roederer are the fruit of patient work with fundamental ingredients, the collaboration of experts, a quest for the perfect balance, and hardy and generous grapes, cultivated in the Champagne soil, producing a wine with a summery character and crystalline elegance.
