Champagne Louis Roederer Brut Nature 2018 by Philippe Starck is a vintage cuvée that embodies the expertise of the Roederer House.The result of a unique artistic and oenological collaboration, it embodies the quest for a pure, unadulterated style that remains faithful to the expression of the Cumières terroir.

From the particularly sunny 2018 vintage, this zero dosage Brut Nature is made from grapes grown on south-facing clay-limestone slopes. The blend combines Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay, resulting in a balanced structure that combines density and freshness. The total absence of added sugar reveals the precision of the fruit, the mineral tension and the signature of an exceptional vintage.

Its pale gold colour and fine bubbles herald a precise nose with notes of yellow fruit, candied citrus and white flowers. On the palate, the texture is silky, supported by a salty structure and a straight, long finish, characteristic of the Louis Roederer style.

Designed as an expressive champagne, Brut Nature 2018 by Starck is aimed at discerning wine lovers who are keen to discover a refined approach to Champagne. It is the ideal accompaniment to fine fish, shellfish or mature cheeses, served between 8°C and 10°C.

Description

The Champagne Louis Roederer Brut Nature 2018 by Philippe Starck embodies a refined and demanding approach to Champagne winemaking.

Technical characteristics

House: Louis Roederer
Vintage: 2018
Cuvée: Brut Nature (zero dosage)
Collaboration: design and vision with Philippe Starck
Terroir: Cumières hillsides (Marne Valley) – deep clay-limestone soils, south-south-east exposure.
Approximate blend (according to sources): 55% Pinot Noir, 25% Meunier, 20% Chardonnay (+ a little Pinot Blanc) for the 2018 edition.
Extended ageing on lees, without malolactic fermentation.
Bottle design: minimalist, without a traditional label, with a few engraved inscriptions, in line with Philippe Starck's vision.

Advantages and specific characteristics

This cuvée stands out for several reasons: first, the absence of dosage (zero added sugar) allows the raw materials – the grapes, the terroir, the vintage – to express themselves with rare purity. Secondly, the 2018 vintage, considered particularly sunny, gives the cuvée a maturity and density that support this minimalist approach.

The exposed terroir of Cumières, with its clay-limestone soils, infuses this bottle with a distinct mineral tension, a salty profile and a clarity that testify to a remarkable balance between richness and freshness.

Finally, the collaboration with Philippe Starck reinforces the identity of this cuvée: the bottle is not just a container but a reflection of an aesthetic and viticultural approach, combining design and oenological expertise.

Use and context

This cuvée is ideal for discerning wine lovers seeking an authentic expression of the Champagne terroir in a non-dosé style. It is suitable for cellaring (potential for development) or for immediate consumption for those who appreciate tension, minerality and a slightly more incisive profile than more "classic" cuvées. Serving conditions: ideally between 8°C and 10°C to allow its aromas to blossom and maintain its fine bubbles.

Why choose this cuvée?

The 2018 Louis Roederer Brut Nature by Philippe Starck stands out for its uniqueness: produced only in exceptional vintages (2006, 2009, 2012, 2015, 2018) and with a strong viticultural and aesthetic ambition.

The precision of the blend, the rigour of the production process (zero dosage, no malolactic fermentation), the particularly high-quality terroir and the strong visual identity make it a benchmark for those who wish to explore an exceptional champagne. By choosing this cuvée, one is more interested in the expression of the soil and the vintage than in a standardised style.

Storage and serving advice

Store the bottle in a place with a stable temperature (ideally between 10°C and 13°C), away from light and vibrations. When serving, open the bottle carefully and pour slowly to preserve the finesse of the bubbles. Given its "zero dosage" profile, it is advisable to let the cuvée express itself in a tulip or flute glass suitable for a high-precision blended champagne.
