The Champagne Brut Nature by Roederer and Starck is a rich and complex bubbly, born from the collaboration between the renowned maison and architect Philippe Starck. A historic winery and undoubtedly one of the most esteemed in the world of Champagne, Roederer boasts a tradition with very deep roots, dating back to 1776. From then until today, despite a growing vineyard area and global demand, the belief has remained unchanged: to produce liquids of extreme quality using grapes from the best crus of the Champagne wine region. Today, Roederer owns 240 hectares, mostly in the Valle de la Marne area, with plots that are enhanced by the stylistic interpretations of the Maison. Creaminess, substance, and finesse blend in unique bottles, loved by enthusiasts and that captivate newcomers.
The Brut Nature Roederer and Starck is made from a blend predominantly of Pinot Nero with a portion of Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. In the vineyard, the focus is on sustainability and the vitality of the soils, therefore it was decided to follow various principles of biodynamic agriculture. The grapes destined for the cuvée come from the municipality of Cumierès, and the vines rest on clay-limestone soils. The first fermentation takes place in steel and 25% in oak barrels, which add greater richness to the blend. The second fermentation occurs in the bottle with a long aging on the lees for 60 months.
The Champagne Roederer and Starck presents itself in the glass with a straw-yellow appearance and an extremely fine and persistent perlage. The first nose outlines a complex and at the same time enticing profile, where clear notes of golden apple, hawthorn, brioche, and hints of pastry stand out. Then there are lime and dried fruit. Inviting and seductive, it is impossible not to explore its taste side, and the sip delivers a liquid where elegance and creaminess blend perfectly. Freshness and sapidity are perfectly integrated, balancing the sip and extending its persistence. A bottle to be enjoyed with pleasure, even on special occasions!
