Champagne Louis Roederer Brut Premier NV

     Established in 1776, Champagne Louis Roederer is one of the few remaining completely independent, family owned Champagne houses. Louis Roederer has always striven to maintain a degree of independance by ensuring that at least two-thirds of the fruit is
sourced from its own vineyards. 
    This is a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, aged in oak casks for 2-6 years. This wine matured an average of three years ageing on lees, plus another six months after disgorging.
    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. Golden colour with fine bubbles and a nose of fresh fruit and hawthorn. Smooth, complex palate mingling flavours of whitefleshed
fruit (apple and pear) with red berries (blackberries, raspberries, cherries) and notes of toast and almonds. A pleasurable wine, deliciously smooth and mature.
