"Vibrant and mouthwatering, this offers a range of patisserie pear and apple fruit, candied lemon zest, pastry dough and marzipan notes set on a finely detailed texture, which imparts a great deal of finesse. The lasting finish echoes a smoky mineral note."

"The 2005 Brut Vintage blossoms on the palate with layers of deep, expressive fruit. The weight of of the Pinot comes through loud and clear in this rich, textured Champagne. Ripe red berries, pears, hazelnuts and spices are some of the nuances that are layered into the rich, textured finish. This is another fabulous showing from Roederer."

"Pale straw. An explosively perfumed bouquet of spicy citrus and pear is complicated by pungent floral and herbal nuances. Luscious, concentrated and palate-staining, with ripe orchard fruit and citrus pith flavors underscored by chalky minerality. Finishes with excellent focus and mineral-driven thrust."

"Light, green-tinged gold. Lime zest, orchard fruit and mineral aromas show very good clarity and vivacity. Dry, focused and intense, offering juicy citrus and floral flavors and notes of candied ginger and iodine. Picks up a smoky note with air and finishes with very good cut and lingering spiciness."

"Primary, yeasty aromas of redcurrant and strawberry, with a strong mineral underpinning. Fresh red berries and spicecake on the palate, with notes of smoky lees and minerals gaining strength in the glass. Awfully young, with strong finishing cut and a persistent note of wild strawberry."

"Yellow plum, pear, musky herbs, spices and a whiff of woodsmoke on the highly fragrant nose. Powerful but lively, with excellent clarity to the deep, chewy pit fruit and lemon pith flavors. Finishes with very good smoky persistence."

"One of the ?rst Brut Nature elaborated in our country, and now considered a great classic. Straw yellow color with a pale gold tint. Fine and constant bubbles. Its clean bouquet has a perfect balance between the subtle fruity notes and the delicate tertiary tones of aging. It is ?ne and light in the mouth. Dry and soft with a pleasant eloquence of age.It is a versatile cava, ideal to have alone or able to accompany any dish."

"Aromatic, with a fine, creamy mousse, delicate acidity and well-meshed flavors of fresh-cut quince, dried apricot, biscuit, blanched almond, honey and fleur de sel. Offers a fresh, lingering, spice-tinged finish."

"Luxurious and complex, blending an opulent texture with lively acidity. Bold aromas of brioche, almond and lemon curd lead to layered flavors of Asian pear and cinnamon spice."

"Elegant and refined, this offers an expressive, spiced character along with flavors of cut apple, kumquat, biscuit, almond skin and black currant. The smoky, minerally base note gains momentum on the finish."
