The Roederer Champagne House plans to launch two still wines soon. The Pinot Noir and the Chardonnay are classified under the appellation Coteaux Champenois and both bear the name "Hommage à Camille". The Pinot Noir Camille Charmont 2018 comes from the single vineyard Charmont in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ; the Chardonnay Camille Volibarts 2018 comes from, according to the company, "historic vines" from the Volibarts vineyard in Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger. Roeder has been involved in the cultivation and development of still wines "for several years now".
The eponymous "Camille" is a tribute by the house to Camille Olry-Roederer, who led the champagne house from 1932 to 1975 after the death of her husband, was responsible for important changes and modernised the business.Roederer has not yet announced when and at what price the limited wines will be released.
