Louis Roederer Brut Champagne 2015 is a masterpiece of balance and complexity, revealing the extraordinary characteristics of the vintage and the exceptional terroir of the Verzy estate. The 2015 harvest, marked by a hot, dry summer and a cool finish, yielded a smaller crop, resulting in a Champagne with remarkable intensity and concentration. This vintage is dominated by Pinot Noir, particularly from the renowned Verzy vineyards, adding a rich depth of flavour and structure, complemented by the elegance of Chardonnay.

A slow maturation process on lees for over four years followed by a minimum of six months post-disgorging has allowed this Champagne to develop a round, creamy texture while retaining its vibrant freshness. The result is a beautifully structured wine with complex layers of brioche, red fruit, and delicate spices, offering a refined and balanced experience from start to finish. With its bold personality, Louis Roederer Brut Champagne 2015 is already exceptional, but it promises to evolve further with time.

The 2015 reveals the natural intensity and remarkable concentration of Verzy Pinot noirs from a spectacularly continental vintage. - Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Cellar Master
