Product details
Constancy
Brut Nature is a champagne without artifice, conceived as an exchange, forged by a long-standing friendship. This champagne is the personification of the free thinking that resulted from an encounter between Maison Louis Roederer and the creator Philippe Starck.
An Exceptional Year
2012 is a solar, intense and generous year, that gave us high quality with grapes of remarkable strength and character, and even more vibrant and generous Pinot Noirs. This year has therefore shown itself to be one of the greatest in history and has given us two wines, a white and a rosé.
Two Visions of The Same Terroir
In 2012, Brut Nature gives us two versions of the same terroir, two very clean and pure, contrasting yet complementary, visions: one reaching out towards the sky and the year’s generous sun which shone over the slope, the other extending towards the bedrock of clay, this dense earth that forged Pinot Noirs of remarkable quality. It is an extremely bright, elegant and distinguished champagne of great vibration.
