Louis Roederer Brut Premier
Louis Roederer Brut Premier is the incarnation of the Louis Roederer style, and combines the fruitiness and freshness of youth with the vinosity of fully mature wines. It is a structured and fully bloomed wine, with a lively attack and a smooth palate. Blending: 56% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay, and 10% Pinot Meunier, including 10% of reserve wines from three former harvests and aged in oak vats for two to six years. Maturation: An average of three years of ageing on the lees, and another six months after disgorging. Dosage: 12g/L of sugar resulting from the liqueur. Tasting Notes: It is a gilded color, with fine bubbles and a nose of fresh fruit and hawthorn. A smooth and complex palate, with mingling fruit flavors of pear and apple, and red fruits of blackberry, raspberry and cherry, with notes of toast and almonds. A pleasurable wine, smooth and open. Food pairing: Brut Premier is an excellent aperitif Champagne that readily accompanies light fish dishes. Wine Enthusiast A classic nonvintage Champagne, Brut Premier is also a yardstick by which others are measured. In the case of this bottle, that yardstick is working well: the palate is rich and creamy, there is maturity along with great fruit and elegance. Best as an apéritif wine, this could also go with light foods. Score: 91. —Roger Voss, December 01, 2005.Wine Spectator Light and lively, featuring apple, toast, ginger and light vanilla flavors. Balanced and on the dry side, with a creamy texture and a lingering butter pastry aftertaste. Drink now through 2011. Score: 91. —Bruce Sanderson, November 30, 2009.Customers who purchased this item also bought:
