Brut Nature 2015  -  Champagne Louis Roederer

An extraordinary vintage which is also the year in which the Champagne region was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site! 2015 followed the continental trend of that decade: a mild, wet winter and a hot, dry summer.

The summer, hot and sunny, brought record-breaking temperatures and water stress. The second half of August brought some very welcome rain, giving the vines some much needed relief. Thanks to this fresh finish, the vines produced juicy, ripe and concentrated grapes. Our ambition for this vintage? To capture the concentration which is the hallmark of this spectacular vintage!

Tasting notes

Brut Nature 2015 is a complete wine, a perfect snapshot of its terroir.

The elegantly fresh nose evokes citrus zest, hazelnut and dried fruit. The palate offers a marked and singular contrast between a broad, juicy, almost sensual texture and a minimalist character due to a fresh, pure backbone associated with its zero dosage. The energetic finish is a masterful finale to this faithful rendition of the vibration of the clay soils and the sappy character of the vintage.

“ The Brut Nature 2015 is an intense and perfectly honed wine. It is very expressive yet also minimalist, pure, fresh and elegant ”
Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon,
Cellar Master

Ageing potential

Our champagnes undergo an extended period of ageing to allow them to gently evolve and mature, gaining in structure and depth, whilst developing highly nuanced aromas over the years. You may enjoy them in the purity and chalky freshness of their youth or, if you appreciate more mature champagnes, wait a few more years or even decades for their candied, spicy notes to emerge. Our champagnes have a long future ahead of them and their destiny is in your hands!

"It is expansive on the palate while maintaining a core fresh acidity, with peach, dried flowers, and wet stone. This complex and unique expression is full of energy and has great gastronomic appeal."
