Roederer Brut Vintage Rosé 2014 con estuche

The Roederer style has become drier as the fruit has become riper and this finely balanced Champagne is an excellent example. Taut and textured, with great freshness allied to the mineral and fruit tones, this wine just hints at tannins as it moves towards maturity. Drink from 2022.

Wafting from the glass with notes of pear, raspberries and honeycomb, mingled with hints of white flowers and brioche, Roederer's 2014 Brut Vintage Rosé is medium to full-bodied, deep and complete, with fine concentration, brisk acids and an elegant pinpoint mousse. Long and penetrating, this is a fabulous cuvée that punches well above its weight, and it comes warmly recommended.

This has aromas of very fresh, sliced strawberry and spicy pastry with a nutty autolysis edge. Lots of complexity here. There’s a sleek smooth and layered feel on the palate with a fresh, fine texture that really appeals. Long and crisp. Bone-dry finish. Drink or hold.
