Louis Roederer Brut Vintage Rose 2017 with Gift box (1x75cl)

JS94 - James Suckling White fruit immediately on the nose, as well as some very strong lemon and lime notes. Some gently chalky notes, too, from the Chouilly chardonnay, which is super chalky. The palate has such focus and drive and a great, mineral core. Very long with a fresh line of acidity and peripheral, smooth flesh. Some pink grapefruit at the finish. Drink or hold.

 

WE93 - Wine Enthusiast This wine is already mature, with layers of toast over the crisp texture. There is a happy contrast between fruit and more complex, secondary flavors. This ripe, elegant wine is now ready to drink. 

 

RP92 - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The Roederer 2013 Rosé has a lovely light pink color and opens with highly delicate red fruit and flowery aromas. The wine is light, fresh, pure, very delicate and stimulatingly salty. Very energetic and at the same time caressing. The finish displays pink grapefruit, blood orange, and lime zest flavors. Highly stimulating in its purity, freshness and citrus character. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon finds it less vinous than the 2012, but he thinks the 2013 has huge aging potential. Disgorged in January, tasted at the domaine in May 2018.
