94 points, “To produce the 2015 Brut Nature Rosé, Lécaillon and his team picked the ripest Pinot Noir in Roederer's holdings in lieu-dit Les Chèvres a week before the rest of their fruit there, macerating it at low temperature for four to five days before adding some 20% of this Pinot Noir to the same base that produces the regular Brut Nature. Delivering aromas of peach, clear honey, freshly baked bread and almond paste, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a rich, vinous profile, racy acids and a long, chalky finish. This has always been a structured wine, but in 2015, that structure is cloaked in more flesh and texture.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
This bottle was created by one of the wine world’s most exciting collaborations: Champagne legend and Cristal producer Louis Roederer combining with the famous designer Philippe Starck.
The two have been working together since 2006, and Philippe Starck has compared their partnership as being “like the Queen of England with Johnny Rotten – and I’m the punk.” The charmingly penned label certainly reflects that, with its pared-back feel in direct contrast to Champagne’s usual fancy flair. Always keen to shake things up and break from the norm, creative genius Philippe Starck says: “Elegance is always in the minimal.”
The Brut Nature Rosé is created from a 10-hectare, biodynamically-farmed vineyard in the Premier Cru village of Cumières. This concentrated wine was harvested in a vintage that the Champagne region was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. No dosage has been added, so that you can enjoy the vintage in all its natural glory. Intense, balanced and packed with fruit, this is a mouthful of crunchy peach, pink grapefruit, pear, red cherry, lemon meringue pie, blood orange, gentian, gingerbread, marzipan and baguette topped with honey. There’s something about it that will really appeal to the Martini and gin and tonic drinker.
