    Overview

    Louis Roederer Brut Premier Magnum

     
    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 Léon 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 Roederer Brut Premier.
