Wine Summary Image

The upheavals of the start of the twentieth century—in particular the First World War that destroyed more than half of the Louis Roederer estate—led Léon Olry Roederer to reconstruct his vineyard. He decided to buy in grapes to ensure continuity during the period of crisis. In doing so, he created a wine of several vintages with a constant taste whatever the year of harvesting. Today this wine is Brut Premier!

Expert Reviews

Leading out with the rounded richness of white peach and nectarine, quickly pulling into the restrained, honed linearity of lemon zest and fine minerality on a lingering finish. A wine of excellent, balance, poise and freshness with nuances of nutmeg and mixed spice dancing through the palate. There are subtle, savoury, reductive nuances; dosage is well-gauged to match its taut citrus profile. Every bit as fresh around the world as it is in France.

Winery Tasting Notes

Appearance

Pale golden yellow in colour with a delicate persistent bead.

Aroma

Rich yet subtle bouquet of hawthorn, almonds and toast.

Palate

From the outset, Brut Premier affi rms its personality and seduction: the texture is full and generous and, in a fairly unexpected way, integrates characteristics of maturity associated with fruitier and more refreshing notes. The wine has a fresh festive finesse…In the mouth, the wine has structure, richness and length. It is a full, complex wine that is both modern and powerful, whilst remaining a great classic.

Food Matching

Serve well chilled. Louis Roederer Brut Premier is a classic aperitif or celebratory Champagne. The fullness and structure make Brut Premier a superb accompaniment to many fine cuisine.

Winery Profile

Champagne Louis Roederer, founded in 1776, remains one of the very rare family Champagne businesses. For two centuries, six succeeding generations have been inspired by the same concern for quality. Frederic Rouzaud took up the reins in early 2006 from his father Jean-Claude Rouzaud who remains Chairman of the Board. Jean-Claude, grandson of Madame Camille Olry-Roederer and himself a trained Oenologist had led the company for 38 years, and is referred to as the 'Sage' of Champagne (the wise man of Champagne).

Frederic has spent the past 10 years working with his father in all areas of production and business and will bring his great business acumen and academic background to the company. Louis Roederer is unique in Champagne owning two-thirds of the vineyards for their total production covering the Pinot Noir sub regions of "Montagne de Reims" and "Vallee de la Marne" with Chardonnay from the "Cotes des Blanc". By 1995, recent acquisitions had increased Louis Roederer's holding from 180 hectares to almost 190 hectares, ranking 97.5% on the official classification scale.

Rating 94 - Tyson Stelzer The Champagne Guide 2012 - 2013

Invariably praised, nonvintage Champagne with a high proportion of reserve wines that had been stored in big oak barrels. Four years in the bottle before disgorging only the first pressing is used. For several years, an appley, storable, and decently good nonvintage Champagne. Today, a Cristal-like Champagne with outstanding finesse. Fantastic in magnum. Rating 91 - Richard Juhlin, Champagne Club (NOV/2012)

Roederer's NV remains in the best-of category, with plenty of freshness, intensity, length and precision. Smells of fine lemons and apples, hints of smoky oyster shell and some delicate spice - wood-matured reserve wine working its magic. The palate has a composed shape and crisp texture, with plenty of finesse, red apple fruits and an elegant finish.Rating 93 & 2 Glasses - Nick Stock, Good Wine Guide 2011
