Louis Roederer Brut Premier NV

This champagne appears in the glass in sparkling golden yellow. The pearl in this champagne is extremely fine, elegant, and long-lasting in the glass. In the middle, this champagne shows a vibrant color. If you swirl the wine glass around, this champagne is characterized by a fascinating lightness that lets it dance cleverly in the glass. In the glass, this Brut Premier champagne from Louis Roederer reveals aromas of kumquat, apricots, quince, grapefruit and lemongrass, complemented by yeast flute, bitter chocolate and vanilla. This Brut non-vintage from Louis Roederer is the right choice for all wine lovers who like it dry. But it never seems sparse or crazy, as you might expect with a wine. On the tongue, this bright champagne is characterized by an incredibly dense consistency. Due to the moderate fruit acidity, with a velvety palate without losing freshness at the same time. In the end, this champagne ends with a strong minirality and has a good length. There are again echoes of Mirabelle and Quitte. In the reverberation, mineral notes from the limestone-dominated soils. This is an NV (Non-Vintage) champagne which means it is perfect for drinking now and may not gain anything from aging. So it is probably best to drink now.

Comments from a tasting:

"After the First World War destroyed more than half of the Louis Roederer estate, vineyards were reconstructed. To ensure continuity, a multi-vintage wine was created. That wine is called Brut Premier. This wine bursts with everything a "classic" Champagne provides. Fresh fruit pierces the palate on entry, with yeasty, bready notes throughout and a lean and zesty finish character on the finish. Not just for special occasions, this Champagne is a must-buy."
