Louis Roederer Brut Nature Deluxe Rosé 2018
, Pinot Meunier , Pinot Noir The result of a free-spirited collaboration between the Louis Roederer Champagne House and creator Philippe Starck, this pared-down, zero-dosage champagne captures the essence of Cumières' black soils in a sunny vintage. Produced exclusively in warm, dry years, it reflects our vision of a “climate change laboratory” through its singular taste.
2018 was an exceptionally hot, dry and bountiful year - and remarkably healthy too. After an unusually wet winter, the spring was mild and stormy. The summer was particularly hot, dry and sunny, surpassing even the records set in 2003. The harvest was abundant and the grapes were in near-perfect health, resulting in elegant, fruity wines.
64% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier, 16% Chardonnay
An expressive bouquet of citrus (blood orange), tangy red fruit (redcurrant) and fresh, sweet flowers (violet). Initially restrained yet impeccably clean and flawless, it gradually unveils a captiva- ting concentration of fruit with a sugges- tion of raspberry liqueur.
The palate is dense and concentrated. The structure comes to the fore, full, broad and concentrated, in a sensation that is simultaneously juicy, savoury and crunchy. One has the impression of biting into a perfectly ripe, juicy fruit on a summer afternoon. What is remarkable here is the «transparency» of the fermenta- tion, which has skillfully respected the original flavour of the fruit. The weave is intricately woven with grainy, salty tannins that prolong the sensation of freshness while adding delicate, mouthwa- tering notes of spices and cocoa powder.
