Louis Roederer (Starck), Brut Nature Vintage:2006 herbs and bright red stoneThe bright golden Roederer & Starck 2009 Brut Nature assembles two thirds Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier with one third Chardonnay. The grapes come from various parcels in Cumires and were harvested the same day and then pressed together all at once.
