Brut Premier non vintage is the embodiment of Louis Roederer style, combining all the fruitiness and freshness of youth with the vinosity of a fully mature wine. This is a structured and elegantly mature wine, with a lively attack and a smooth palate. The blend is 13 Chardonnay and 23 Pinots, including 10% of reserve wines aged in oak casks for 2 5 years. The maturation is an average of three years ageing on lees, plus another six months after disgorging. A pale golden colour, delicate with a persistent beading. Rich yet subtle bouquet with hints of hawthorn, almonds and toast. Clean attack, creamy structure. Brut Premier is excellent as an aperitif but also readily accompanies light entrees based on fish or shellfish.
