Louis Roederer Brut Premier NV Review
After the First World War destroyed more than half of the Louis Roederer estate, vineyards were reconstructed. To ensure continuity, a multi-vintage wine was created. That wine is called Brut Premier. This wine bursts with everything a "classic" Champagne provides. Fresh fruit pierces the palate on entry, with yeasty, bready notes throughout and a lean and zesty finish character on the finish. Not just for special occasions, this Champagne is a must-buy.
Louis Roederer Brut Premier NV Pros And Cons

Cons
