Champagne Louis Roederer Brut Premier NV 1.5 Litre Magnum. Please note this is a special order item. Please telephone 01329 822733 for availability
Champagne Louis Roederer, established in 1776, is one of the last remaining completely independent, family-owned Champagne houses. By 1886 the House had achieved such a reputation for quality that the second Louis Roederer was asked by Tsar Alexander II to create the luxury cuvée Cristal for the exclusive use of the Russian Tsars, and in so doing created the first Cuvée de Prestige.
Roederer owns just over 200 hectares of vineyards located in the finest areas of Champagne – Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs. Each vineyard is situated in the finest sites, with the plots ranking between 95% and 100% on the Echelle des Crus. This makes Roederer self-sufficient for 100% of its vintage styles and provides two-thirds of its production for Brut Premier. Such a high proportion of “estate” grapes is very unusual in Champagne and ensures superior quality at all stages from grape to glass.
The benchmark of a Champagne house’s style is its non-vintage. Champagne Louis Roederer Brut Premier NV is blended from at least four vintages in a cuvée composed of two-thirds Pinot (of which 10-15% is Pinot Meunier) and one-third Chardonnay. Aged for 36 months prior to disgorgement, it is released only after a further six months in the cellars in Reims. Champagne Louis Roederer Brut Premier is consistently rated as one of the finest non-vintage Champagnes. 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier. Dosage 10-11 grams per litre.
