Louis Roederer Brut Premier Mathusalem (6L) | Wooden Case
Louis Roederer Brut Premier Mathusalem Wooden Case is a great classic that resonates with a modern taste.
Genesis of the wine: The upheavals of the early 1900s, particularly the First World War which destroyed more than half of the Louis Roederer estate, led Léon Olry Roederer to rebuild his vineyard. He decided to buy grapes to ensure the continuity of the Champagne House in this period of crisis and, at the same time, created a multi-vintage wine expressing a consistent taste regardless of the year of harvest. This is now the Brut Premier!
To the eye
On the nose
In the mouth
A balance between youth and maturity, between seduction and character, between vinosity and freshness, Brut Premier is a champagne wine that is both full-bodied and structured, elegant and energetic, with a unique vibrancy. Its structured structure, richness and length are resolutely vinous. It is complete, complex, both modern and powerful while remaining a great classic.
Food & champagne pairings
Brut Premier Louis Roederer goes perfectly with Langoustines and Crustaceans, honey brioche beggars, warm Foie gras and white fruits (white peach, mirabelle plum), Foie gras in terrine and almond jelly.
Ideal operating temperature
To appreciate all its finesse and aromas, champagne should be enjoyed chilled (but not iced). Depending on the cuvée, the ideal serving temperature is between 8 and 12°C.
Potential of keeping
Like all wines, champagne can be kept for varying lengths of time, depending on the type. Under optimal storage conditions, champagne can be kept for 1 to 2 years for Brut cuvées, and up to 4/5 years or even longer for vintage and prestige champagnes. Whatever happens, rest assured that you'll never be able to open your champagne too early, as the Champagne Houses only release their cuvées when they have reached perfect ripeness and are ready for immediate consumption.
40% Pinot Noir – 40% Chardonnay – 20% Meunier – 5% oak barrels with weekly stirring of the lees – 10% reserve wines matured in wood – partial malolactic fermentation.
The Brut Premier cuvée is made from the 3 Champagne grape varieties from over 40 different crus. It is a blend of 6 years of harvest, part of which comes from the Louis Roederer reserve wine collection aged in oak barrels for several years. It benefits from an average of 3 years of maturation in the cellars and also from a 6-month rest after disgorgement to perfect its maturity. The dosage is adapted to each vintage between 10 and 11 g/l.
