Product Notes

Louis Roederer Brut Vintage wine is a sophisticated blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Sourced from Roederer's exclusive estate vineyards, it's a triumph of French winemaking. Displaying a fine mousse with exuberant bubbles, this vintage is renowned for its rich, fruity tones, including hints of red berries, fig, and a touch of almond. Its texture is complex and smooth with a vibrant, crisp finish. Offering an intricately balanced palate, it exudes robust elegance. The robustness of the Brut Vintage makes it a premium choice for any occasion that distinguishes it from other champagnes.

Tasting Notes

The intense Pinot noir bouquet includes notes of zesty red fruit (redcurrants) and juicy, sun-drenched yellow fruit (mirabelle plums, wild peaches). After aeration, the nose evolves towards the more classic aromas of the Pinot noirs grown in ‘La Montagne’: dried fruit and smoky notes combined with a few zesty and spicy aromas (white pepper). The palate is dynamic, concentrated and powerful. The texture is fleshy and vinous with a lovely acidity that incorporates the freshness and concentration of the juice with great ease. The structure is energetic, well-honed, firm and almost classic. The fruity aromas gradually give way to sweeter notes of chocolate (cocoa beans) and even delicate roasted notes. The finish reveals concentrated roasted and stewed fruit underpinned by saline, mouth-watering flavours leaving a magnificent final sensation of lightness, generosity and elegance.
