The 1998 Rosé Late Release is laced with hints of wild cherry mocha chocolate leather and dried herbs. Even in this under the radar vintage the Rosé shows so much character and freshness. At times it comes across as a mini-Cristal Rosé a comparison I am very comfortable making having tasted numerous vintages of that Champagne recently. - By Antonio Galloni on March 2024 Roederer remains one of the most dynamic houses in Champagne. This year Roederer is releasing five vintages in their new Rosé Late Release program. These are original disgorgements but bottled with one gram less of dosage (8 grams per liter) than the original releases. That means that at a minimum the broad outline for this program was conceived thirty years ago a reminder of the amount of time that is required in Champagne from conceptualization to commercial release.
