Vinification of the Brut AOC from Champagne Louis Roederer

The foundation of this outstanding Champagne is carefully selected grapes from the best regions of Champagne, primarily consisting of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. Cultivation takes place exclusively in climatically optimal areas with ideal soil conditions that define the character of the grapes. Hand harvesting occurs in multiple passes to select only the ripest and most perfect berries.

The fermentation is carried out gently at controlled temperatures to preserve full aroma and fresh acidity. Traditional bottle fermentation is employed, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, producing a fine perlage. The subsequent long aging on the lees adds extra flavor complexity with toast and brioche aromas.
