So great to see a Champagne made from the ground up to be a Brut Nature, this is definitely indicative of the richness of '09, don't know about the long-term ageability though, as the acidity is already looking a little out of balance. โ 7 years ago

The 3rd wine at the Louis Roederer dinner on Friday night at the Downs Club. Very much a minimalist wine with input from designer, Phillipe Starck - no malo, no dosage, biodynamic. Only made in ripe warm years from the Cumieres vineyard. A little too bone dry for my palate. โ 3 months ago
