Louis Roederer Brut Nature Deluxe
Bright, brilliant pale yellow hue. Clean, energetic and perfectly uniform streams of bubbles dispersed evenly throughout the glass, a result of reduced viscosity due to the absence of sugar.
The bouquet is charming, delicate and refined with subtle toasted aromas of yellow fruits (mirabelle plum) and nuts (fresh almonds). It reveals a ripe, velvety and almost sunny character. With aera- tion, the aromatic freshness intensifies, disclosing aromas of red fruits (blackcurrant) along with sweet flowers (lilac). The bouquet is unmistakably shaped by the Pinot noirs and Meuniers.
On entry to the palate, the wine shows a vibrant energy lined with a velvety, soft and juicy texture. The fruit is bursting with ripeness and saline energy, generously enveloping the palate before quickly giving way to a fresh, vibrant and sapid expression. A wave of fruity, saline freshness seems to sweep across the palate, carried by a powdery, slightly drying and bitter finish. This champagne is an absolute delight - fragrant and easy to drink, leaving an impression of great harmony and perfect balance (neither acidic nor sunny). This Brut Nature is fine and delicate, yet concentrated and dense and reveals an oily, limestone finish, almost evocative of “crushed seashells”.
