2018 Louis Roederer et Philippe Starck Brut Nature Millesime Champagne

Charming, delicate and refined, Brut Nature 2018 takes the generous character of the year and turns it into a wave of fruity, saline freshness. It exudes harmony and precision, revealing the exceptional limestone backbone created by these cool terroirs in Cumières.

The result of a free-spirited collaboration between the Louis Roederer Champagne House and creator Philippe Starck, this pared-down, zero-dosage champagne captures the essence of Cumières' black soils in a sunny vintage. Produced exclusively in warm, dry years, it reflects our vision of a “climate change laboratory” through its singular taste.

For almost 20 years, our Brut Nature has been a marker of the changes occurring in the Champagne region and is a pioneering model of experimentation. Produced exclusively in hot, dry years, it is a forerunner of the champagnes of tomorrow and a platform for experimentation. The winegrowing practices used in its production are tailored to this specific context and offer a glimpse into the future of the region's viticulture.

Brut Nature is the embodiment of this changing Champagne region, reflecting the shifting landscape in its restrained style and understated design. A veritable incubator of innovation, Brut Nature benefits all the Louis Roederer champagnes as it helps us anticipate and adapt to these changes.

« Brut Nature is the showcase of our most innovative experiments of the last 20 years, it is a ‘laboratory of climate change’ that has allowed us to rediscover certain traditional and sometimes forgotten skills, such as knowing how to bring out the best in the original Champagne grape varieties or the practice of complantation. »
