Louis Roederer Brut Premier NV
Brut Premier is the embodiment of Louis Roederer style, combining all the fruitiness and freshness of youth with the vinosity of a fully mature wine. This is a structured and elegantly mature wine, with a lively attack and a smooth palate.
56% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Meunier, including 10% of reserve wines from three former harvests, aged in oak casks for 2-6 years. An average of three years ageing on lees, plus another six months after disgorging. Pale golden colour. Delicate, persistent beading. Rich yet subtle bouquet with hints of hawthorn, almonds and toast. Clean attack, creamy structure. The inclusion of reserve wines gives the complexity and roundness characteristic of Louis Roederer champagnes. |
