Louis Roederer et Philippe Starck Brut Nature Rose 2018

Product Description:
Louis Roederer et Philippe Starck Brut Nature Rosé 2018 is a distinctive zero-dosage Champagne born from the creative collaboration between Maison Louis Roederer and internationally renowned designer Philippe Starck. Conceived as a “minimalist” expression of Champagne, the Brut Nature project focuses on purity, transparency and the raw character of terroir without the masking influence of dosage. The 2018 release originates from the warm and generous vintage conditions of Cumières, where south-facing clay and chalk soils provided both ripeness and tension. Produced from a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay with a touch of Pinot Blanc, the wine reflects Roederer’s innovative approach to co-harvesting and co-fermentation.

The rosé is crafted using early-harvested Pinot Noir subjected to cold maceration, producing both colour and structural depth while preserving freshness and finesse. Partial vinification in oak barrels adds subtle texture and complexity, while the absence of malolactic fermentation preserves the wine’s natural vibrancy and precision. The 2018 Brut Nature Rosé displays remarkable energy and saline minerality beneath its layered fruit profile, combining concentration with crystalline purity. Aromatically expressive and tightly structured, it balances citrus, red berry and floral nuances against a chalk-driven backbone. The palate is simultaneously dense and delicate, finishing with a dry, mineral tension that defines the Brut Nature philosophy. While captivating in its youth, the wine possesses the structure and freshness to evolve beautifully over the coming decade. It is an exceptional companion to oysters, sashimi, lobster, smoked salmon and refined seafood cuisine.
