The Story

After the upheavals of the early 1900s, particularly the First World War that destroyed more than half of the Louis Roederer estate, Léon Olry Roederer reconstructed the vineyards. He decided to buy grapes to ensure the continuity of the House during this difficult period and, at the same time, created a multi-vintage wine that would have a consistent flavour, whatever the harvest year. It is now called Brut Premier.

Written Notes

This has a core of fresh, extremely fleshy and attractive peaches and lemons from a ripe year. The delicacy and purity of this Champagne is stunning, as is its gently powerful nature. Such great purity here. In great form!

Medium-deep lemony colour. Overt and soft, sweet tropical nose of confectionary, vanilla and white flowers. Dry, round and silky palate with a fluffy mousse with medium-sized bubbles. Easy-going and approachable, straightforward and clean palate. Seductive with bright fruit and medium length. Drinking well now with medium-term aging capacity.

”Tätä voisi juoda tosi paljon ilman närästystä ja kuivaa suuta. Pidän tästä todella. Yleensä pidän cavoja helpompina nautittavina kuin samppanjoita, joita leimaa usein minua häiritsevä terävyys. Tämä on aiemmista kokemuksistani poiketen hyvin rauhoittava, todella hyvä" – artisti Jenni Vartiainen Juha Lihtosen valitsema Jenni Vartiaisen kappale viinille: 'Duran Duran'

Roederer är onekligen ett strålande champagnehus med en exceptionell portfölj av viner. Standardchampagnen är lysande som erbjuder en hustypisk aristokratisk elegans och tillhör alltid de bästa. Konstant lovordad standardchampagne med hög andel reservviner lagrade på stora ekfat. Fyra år i buteljen före degorgeringen, endast första pressningen. I flera år en äpplig, lagringsbar och hyfsat bra standardchampagne. I dag en Cristallik champagne med enastående finess. Helt fantastisk på magnum.
