The production of the 2015 Brut Nature Rosé Louis Roederer by Starck

This cuvée embodies a resolutely modern approach to rosé champagne, born from the collaboration between Louis Roederer and designer Philippe Starck. A champagne without artifice, conceived as a photograph of a terroir and a vintage. The production process is based on a unique co-fermentation method that combines infusion, precision, and purity.

The cuvée is made from:

• 50% Pinot Noir: structure, depth, red fruit.
• 37% Chardonnay: freshness, tension and floral finesse.
• 13% Meunier: suppleness and delicious roundness.

The grape varieties are field-blended on the Cumières terroir and vinified together using agentle infusion methodwith Pinot Noir for five days before the clear juice from the Brut Nature white is added for controlled co-fermentation.

The terroir

From the "La Rivière" vineyard, located on the heights of Cumières, this champagne benefits from ideal exposure and clay-limestone soil that accentuates its aromatic complexity and mineral tension. This mid-slope terroir offers optimal ripeness for the three Champagne grape varieties while preserving the energy of the wines.

Vinification

Only 11% of the wines were aged in wood to preserve the integrity of the profile. 30% of the juices underwent malolactic fermentation to slightly round out the structure without altering the freshness. The highlight? Zero dosage (0 g/L), which reveals the purity of the fruit and the powdery texture so characteristic of this cuvée. This champagne is a Brut Nature in the noblest sense of the word, with no additives, but perfectly balanced.

The 2015 vintage

2015 was an exceptional year in Champagne. A mild winter followed by a hot, dry summer promoted rapid and intense ripening. A welcome rain at the end of August preserved the freshness of the berries and concentrated the juices. The vintage is marked by intense sunshine counterbalanced by a refreshing coolness. This Brut Nature Rosé is its pure, concentrated and refined expression.
