What kind of wine is Champagne Brut Nature 'Philippe Starck' Millésimé 2015 - Louis Roederer
The Champagne Brut Nature 'Philippe Starck' Millésimé 2015 - Louis Roederer is the result of a collaboration between the historic Maison Louis Roederer and the renowned designer Philippe Starck. It is a wine that represents a modern vision of Champagne, blending craftsmanship, elegance, and respect for nature. Produced exclusively from grapes sourced from the Côteaux de Cumières, in the most suitable lands of the Vallée de la Marne, this Champagne embodies the stylistic purity of the so-called Brut Nature — a wine with no added sugar at the time of disgorgement. The production method is Champenoise (or classic method), which involves a second fermentation in the bottle and a long aging on the lees, responsible for the creaminess and typical elegance of high-quality bubbles.Vintage Details
The 2015 vintage is the result of a sunny and generous year in Champagne, characterized by stable weather and perfect grape ripening. The warm summer favored aromatic concentration, while cool nights at the end of the season preserved acidity and tension. The result is a harmonious and complex Champagne, with an ideal balance between freshness and taste intensity.Winemaking and Aging
The cuvée is a blend of approximately one-third Chardonnay and two-thirds Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, 25% of which is vinified in small oak barrels to impart depth and roundness. After fermentation, the wine rests for 5 years on its lees, a period during which it acquires its finesse and aromatic complexity. The absence of dosage (Brut Nature) enhances the purity of the fruit and the transparency of the terroir, delivering a clear, precise, and mineral style.Tasting Notes

How to open and best serve Champagne Brut Nature 'Philippe Starck' Millésimé 2015 - Louis Roederer
1. Bottle Positioning
Before opening the Champagne Brut Nature 'Philippe Starck' Millésimé 2015 - Louis Roederer, ensure the bottle has been stored horizontally in a cool place, away from light and vibrations. A few hours before serving, place it upright to allow any sediment to settle at the bottom and facilitate a cleaner opening.
2. Ideal Serving Temperature
The perfect temperature to fully appreciate this vintage Champagne is between 8°C and 10°C. You can achieve this temperature by placing the bottle in an ice bucket with ice and water for about 20-25 minutes, or in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours before serving. A temperature that is too low can mask the aromas, while one that is too high reduces its freshness.
3. Opening the Bottle
To safely open the Champagne Brut Nature 'Philippe Starck' Millésimé 2015 - Louis Roederer:
- Remove the protective foil and loosen the wire cage, always keeping your thumb on top of the cork.
- Hold the bottle at a 45° angle and rotate the base, not the cork, maintaining a firm grip.
- Allow the cork to ease out slowly, producing a whisper and not a pop: a sign of a controlled and correct opening.
4. Inspection and First Taste
Observe the color and the liveliness of the perlage. A mature Champagne Brut Nature like this presents golden hues and fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, you should perceive complex aromas of citrus, dried fruit, and mineral notes. The first sip serves to evaluate the freshness, acidity, and fineness of the structure.
5. Decanting and Oxygenation
Contrary to what is done with still wines, decanting a Champagne is a delicate and rare operation. However, for a vintage like Champagne Brut Nature 'Philippe Starck' Millésimé 2015 - Louis Roederer, slight oxygenation can be beneficial:
- Slowly pour the Champagne into a wide-bottomed carafe, avoiding the dispersion of too many bubbles.
- Let it rest for 5-8 minutes to allow the aromatic bouquet to open up.
- Alternatively, you can simply let the Champagne breathe in the glass after pouring.
6. Serving
Serve the Champagne in tulip glasses or wide flutes, ideal for enhancing the aromas and the fineness of the bubbles. Fill the glasses approximately two-thirds full. During serving, keep the bottle in an ice bucket to maintain the optimal temperature. Pair this vintage with refined fish dishes, shellfish, or soft cheeses to highlight its complexity and elegance.
7. Storage After Opening
If you don't consume the entire bottle, reseal it with a specific Champagne stopper and store it in the refrigerator. It can maintain its characteristics for 24-48 hours, although it is advisable to finish it within the day to fully enjoy its effervescence and freshness.
