Complex nose of restrained strawberries and lemon zest with macerated flowers and shortbread. Full body and plenty of concentration with pinprick mousse long and chewy integrated acidity and amazing length. Pinot noir and chardonnay. Drink or hold.

The 2016 Champagne Vintage Brut is the new release and is composed of 70% Pinot Noir from Verzy and the rest Chardonnay from Chouilly. A slightly richer golden straw hue it has a floral bouquet on the nose and is a very pretty vintage of this wine aromatically. It?s sappy with lemon confit and is salty throughout the palate revealing the weight of the Pinot Noir but retaining wonderful freshness. This lovely wine is going to take some time to open aromatically but it?s going to be worth the wait. Drink it over the coming 15 years. It?s a going to be a stunning wine for pairings. 7 gram per liter dosage in this wine and in the collection.

Produced from the first vineyard acquired by Roederer in 1841, this Champagne shows the beginnings of maturity as well as ripe, fresh apple fruit flavors. An aroma of toast mingled with kiwi fruits gives a finely balanced wine now ready to drink.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
A seamless Champagne deftly knitting flavors of crushed black raspberry tangerine peel chalk and Marcona almond with the fine china?like acidity and satiny mousse. The graceful balance gives this an effortless feel but there's intensity and drive to this well-tailored version. Long and fragrant on the finish with hints of ground ginger blood orange zest and mineral. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2040. ?A.N.
