Personalised Louis Roederer Brut Nature Deluxe 2018 12% 750ML
TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE
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 absense of sugar.
AROMA
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 (blackcur- rant) along with sweet flowers (lilac). The bouquet is unmistakably shaped by the Pinot noirs and Meuniers.
PALATE
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”.
VINTAGE NOTES
2018 was an exceptionally hot, dry and bountiful year - and remarkably healthy too. After an unusually wet winter, the spring was mild and stormy. The summer was particularly hot, dry and sunny, surpassing even the records set in 2003. The harvest was abundant and the grapes were in near-perfect health, resulting in elegant, fruity wines.
