Louis Roederer Brut Vintage 2015 Bottle (0.75L) | Box
Louis Roederer Vintage 2015 with Luxury Box embodies the emanation of the Louis Roederer terroir. This cuvée expresses the intensity and the great natural concentration of the Pinots Noirs of Verzy in a spectacularly continental vintage.
The year 2015: Extraordinary vintage which is also the year of the recognition of the Champagne region as a UNESCO World Heritage Site! 2015 fits perfectly into the continental trend of the decade: mild and wet winter and hot and dry summer! The summer, hot and sunny, will remain marked by records of heat and drought… And by this happy summer finale where the vines were “relieved” by the saving rain of the second part of August. The ripening process, thanks to this final freshness, gave birth to juicy, ripe and concentrated grapes! The ambition of the vintage? To capture the concentrated signature of a spectacular vintage!
To the eye
Deep yellow colour with golden, slightly amber reflections. Dynamic and intense effervescence.
On the nose
Intense Pinot Noir bouquet combining acidic red fruit (redcurrant) and juicy, sun-drenched yellow fruit (mirabelle plum, vine peach). On aeration, the traditional aromas of "La Montagne" Pinot Noir come through: dried and smoky fruits combined with some acidulous and spicy notes (white pepper).
In the mouth
The attack in the mouth is dynamic, concentrated and powerful. The texture is fleshy and vinous, with an acidic presence that clearly integrates the concentrated juice and freshness. The structure is tonic, chiselled, almost classic and firm. The fruitiness gradually gives way to the sweetness of the chocolate notes (cocoa bean) and even a slight roasting. The finish reveals concentrated, roasted and candied fruit, always supported by saline and salivating flavours. The final sensation is beautifully unbound, generous and graceful.
Food & champagne pairings
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.
