Tasting Notes:
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. Fine bubbles and a nose of fresh fruit and hawthorn.

Smooth, complex palate mingling flavours of white-fleshed fruit (apple and pear) with red berries (blackberries, raspberries, cherries) and notes of toast and almonds. A pleasurable wine, deliciously smooth and mature.

The style is delicate and elegant. Its reserve wines bring rich round flavours that make it vibrant, fresh and generous.

Grape Variety:
40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Meunier – 5% of wines are matured in oak casks with weekly batonnage – 10% of reserve wines are matured in casks. Partial malolactic fermentation.

Louis Roederer Brut Premier uses all 3 Champagne grape varieties from more than 40 different plots. The wine is an assemblage of 6 years of harvesting, a part of which comes from the Louis Roederer reserve wine collection, matured in oak casks for several years. It is matured for 3 years in the cellar and rested for 6 months after disgorgement to perfect maturity.

Dosage of between 10 and 11 g/l is adapted to each vintage.

Pairing with food:

Langoustines, Shellfish honey and brioche, Liver and white fruit (peaches and mirabelles), Terrine of foie gras with almond jelly

Background Information:

The upheavals of the start of the twentieth century – in particular the First World War that destroyed more than half of the Louis Roederer estate – led Lon Olry Roederer to reconstruct his vineyard. He decided to buy in grapes to ensure continuity during the period of crisis. In doing so, he created a wine of several vintages with a constant taste whatever the year of harvesting.

Today this wine is Louis RoedererBrut Premier.
