Louis Roederer Page 2
Champagne Louis Roederer, creator of the famous Cristal
prestige cuvee, has been synonymous with the world's great
champagnes since 1776. Brut Premier is the House's flagship
multi-vintage champagne - its most popular and best-selling
wine and the champagne that sets the house style for this
esteemed producer.
Tasting notes
Light gold in color, Brut Premier boasts a smooth, full
mouth. This elegant champagne is a delicate balance of fruit
and acidity, an outstanding example of the Roederer
tradition of producing wines of lean, firm structure with
discreet fruit and subtle toast flavors.
Wine maker notes
Brut Premier is a blend of vintage wines, enhanced by the
addition of 10% to 20% oak-aged wines from Roederer's
extensive reserve cellars. Grapes are used from only the
finest crus with a rating of 98 or more on Champagne's
regional rating scale - Pinot Noir from the Valley of the
Marne and Montagne de Reims; Chardonnay from the Cote des
Blancs. Roederer uses only the first pressings from these
exceptional grapes for the standard-bearing Brut Premier.
Finished wine is cellar-aged for an additional four years
before release.
