Brut Nature 2018 -  Champagne Louis Roederer

2018 was an exceptionally hot, dry and bountiful year - and remarkably healthy too.

After an unusually wet winter, the spring was mild and stormy. The summer was particularly hot, dry and sunny, surpassing even the records set in 2003. The harvest was abundant and the grapes were in near-perfect health, resulting in elegant, fruity wines.

Tasting notes

The very charming Brut Nature 2018 takes the generous character of the year and turns it into a wave of fruity, saline freshness.

It exudes harmony and precision, revealing the exceptional limestone backbone created by the cool terroirs in Cumières. The yellow and red fruit, toasted almonds and sweet floral notes bear the stamp of the Pinot grapes. Behind the clean, fast-rising bubbles, smoothness and finesse are perfectly balanced, revealing a fresh, vibrant and savoury character.

“ Charming, delicate and refined, Brut Nature 2018 takes the generous character of the year and turns it into a wave of fruity, saline freshness.  ”

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!


Reviews

The World of Fine Wine (October 2025)
94/100
« The palate is juicy, more playful than expected, with notes of clove and Sichuan pepper pleasingly juxtaposed with guava and mandarin, with poached pear and sourdough also detected. A vibrant, sapid finish ensues. »
James Suckling (August 2025)
93/100
« Very savory yet rich, broad shouldered and textured, too, with a firm, chalky finish. »
