December 2024 92 Points International Wine Review
Bouquet of lemony citrus, stone fruit, bread dough and spice. Juicy, firm palate revealing citrus, oyster shells, and a persistent mousse. Finishes long with a mineral note. Priced low enough that it could be served as a party wine. Made 55% from 2020 vintage, 35% from the Perpetual Reserve, and 10% from older vintages sourced from the Cristal estate and aged in French oak foudres; aged 3+ years sur lattes. The varietal mix is 41% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, and 24% Meunier. 22% of the wine goes through malo, and the dosage is the same as Cristal, 7 g/L.

This iconic Champagne, first made in the 19th century for the Tsar of Russia, shows its typical stunning balance and poise between richness and concentration. It has a pure white fruit and honeysuckle aroma and tight, tangy fresh fruit flavors. Just ready to drink, the wine will age well, for at least 20 years. Organic.

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.

Vineyards in Cumières, facing the Marne Valley, are the source of this ripe, full and balanced Champagne. The fruit of one year, with an aroma of roses and a rich, vibrant palate, the wine is opulent and full. Drink now.

This is the 245th blend of Roederer's non-vintage Champagne. It is a fine wine, highlighting the blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, bringing in reserve wines to give richness and balance. It is fresh, beginning to show signs of maturity, with an apple aroma and a ripe palate. Drink now.
