The 2015 vintage of Louis Roederer Brut Vintage has produced a champagne par excellence, which coincides with the year in which the Champagne region was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 2015 followed the continental trend of the decade - a mild, wet winter followed by a hot, dry summer. The hot and sunny summer, brought record-breaking temperatures and water stress. The second half of August brought some welcome rain, giving the vines some much needed relief. Thanks to this fresh finish to the season, the vines produced juicy, ripe and concentrated grapes. The aim of this vintage is to capture the concentration which is the hallmark of this vintage.
Colour: Deep yellow hue with golden and slightly amber tints and vigorous, lively bubbles. The intense Pinot noir bouquet includes notes of zesty red fruit such as redcurrants and juicy, sun-drenched yellow fruits like mirabelle plums and wild peaches.
Nose: Intense Pinot noir bouquet includes notes of zesty red fruit and juicy, sun-drenched yellow fruits. This evolves towards the more classic aromas of the Pinot noirs, that brings forth dried fruit and smoky notes combined with a few zesty and spicy aromas of 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 cocoa beans and even delicate roasted notes.
Finish: Concentrated roasted and stewed fruit notes underpinned by saline, mouthwatering flavours leaving a magnificent final sensation of lightness, generosity and elegance.
The bottle comes presented in a Louis Roederer Vintage 2015 branded box.
