Louis Roederer & Philippe Starck, Brut Nature Blanc 2018 (750 ml) - Deluxe Gift Box
93 poena - Decanter
Ovaj šampanjac je rezultat saradnje između kuće Louis Roederer i renomiranog dizajnera Philippea Starcka – cilj je bio da se proizvede vino krajnje čistoće: bez malolaktičke fermentacije i bez dodatog šećera. U berbi 2018. mješavina se sastoji od 55% Pinot Noira, dok ostatak čine približno jednake količine Chardonnayja i Meuniera – s nešto više Meuniera – i malim dodatkom (manje od 1%) Pinot Blanca. Grožđe potiče iz Roedererovih vinograda “La Rivière” u Cumières-u.
Čiste, energične i savršeno ujednačene linije mjehurića ravnomjerno su raspoređene po čaši, što je rezultat smanjene viskoznosti usljed odsustva šećera. Buket je šarmantan, delikatan i profinjen, sa suptilnim prepečenim aromama žutog voća (mirabela) i orašastih plodova (svježi bademi). Otkriva zreo, baršunast i gotovo sunčan karakter. Uz provjetravanje, aromatska svježina se pojačava, otkrivajući arome crvenog voća (crna ribizla) i slatkog cvijeća (jorgovan).
Na nepcu, vino pokazuje vibrantnu energiju obloženu baršunastom, mekom i sočnom teksturom. Voćnost je puna zrelosti i slane energije, velikodušno obavija nepce prije nego što ustupi mjesto svježem, živahnom i slasnom izrazu. Ovaj šampanjac je pravo zadovoljstvo – mirisan i lako pijan, ostavlja utisak velike harmonije i savršene ravnoteže. Fino i delikatno, ali istovremeno koncentrisano i gusto, otkriva završnicu koja gotovo podsjeća na „zdrobljene morske školjke“.

This Champagne is the result of a collaboration between Louis Roederer and renowned designer Philippe Starck - the goal is to produce a wine of ultimate purity: no malolactic fermentation, no added sugar. In 2018 the blend is 55% Pinot Noir, the balance being roughly equal amounts of Chardonnay and Meunier - slightly more of the latter - and a tiny touch (less than 1%) of Pinot Blanc. The grapes are sourced from Roederer's "La Rivière" vineyards in Cumières.
Clean, energetic and perfectly uniform streams of bubbles dispersed evenly throughout the glass, a result of the reduced viscosity due to the absence of sugar. The bouquet is charming, delicate and refined with subtle toasted aromas of yellow fruits (mirabelle plum) and nuts (fresh almonds). It reveals a ripe, velvety and almost sunny character. With aeration, the aromatic freshness intensifies, disclosing aromas of red fruits (blackcurrant) along with sweet flowers (lilac).
On the palate, the wine shows a vibrant energy lined with a velvety, soft and juicy texture. The fruit is bursting with ripeness and saline energy, generously enveloping the palate before quickly giving way to a fresh, vibrant and sapid expression. This champagne is an absolute delight - fragrant and easy to drink, leaving an impression of great harmony and perfect balance Fine and delicate, yet concentrated and dense revealing a finish almost evocative of “crushed seashells.”
