Louis Roederer et Philippe Starck Brut Nature 2018 (JR16.5) (Gift Box)
Louis Roederer is a prestigious Champagne house with a rich history dating back to 1776. Their collaboration with renowned designer Philippe Starck brings together the world of fine wine and contemporary design in the Brut Nature 2018 vintage. This Champagne is produced from a biodynamically farmed single vineyard, Lieu-dit La Rivière in Cumières, and is crafted from a blend of Pinot Noir (54%), Pinot Meunier (25%), Chardonnay (20%), and Pinot Blanc (1%). The grapes were harvested in perfect health during the warm and dry 2018 vintage, resulting in wines that are balanced, elegant, and expressive with intensity and freshness.
