Louis Roederer : Brut Nature Limited Edition by Philippe Starck 2012

The energy and purity of a crystal-clear Brut Nature Champagne

Fruit of one of the greatest vintages of the Champagne, the Brut Nature 2012 of Louis Roederer and Philippe Starck invites you to discover the expression of a pure and crystalline zero dosage Champagne.

A delicate year in Champagne, 2012 will nevertheless have given birth to a memorable vintage that has highlighted wines with a beautiful structure, rich and full-bodied. Philippe Starck and Louis Roederer's Brut Nature 2012 is made from a blend of Pinot Noir(55%), complemented by Pinot Meunier (25%) and Chardonnay(20%) with grapes from the great hillside terroirs of Cumières.

On tasting, Louis Roederer's Champagne Brut Nature 2012 has a beautiful golden yellow colour with green reflections highlighting a delicate and dense effervescence.

Very aromatic, the bouquet embalms the nose with its notes of ripe fruit evoking vine peach and candied lemon. Beautiful toasted notes with scents of dried fruit then appear while greedy notes of baked apple, caramel and spices follow one another. The frank attack on the palate highlights a juicy fruit and a deliciously tactile substance. The velvety touch in the mouth then reveals a beautiful freshness with iodine notes and a pleasant bitterness. The contrast between the maturity of the fruit and this intense energy with a crystalline purity creates a perfect balance to this zero dosage Champagne without any trace of oxidative notes. A superb Champagne zero dosage in a very great vintage.
