Wine Description

“52% Chardonnay, 48% Pinot Noir, 4% aged reserve wine (vintage ’99)

Fine tiny bubbles and a long lasting mousse are the usual footprints of the L’ERMITAGE cuvée. This cuvée is showing great notes of “tarte tatin”: baked apples and buttery crust, with notes of apricot and delicate vanilla bean. The mouthfeel is creamy, expresses flavors of quince and bread crust, with a clean and crisp yet long finish.”

This elegant version shows beautiful texture and a sense of finesse despite the underlying power of vibrant acidity and smoky minerality. Drink now through 2028.—A.N.

Although it is still young, this vintage of Cristal promises great things. There s an impressive balance between ripe fruit and crisp acidity, rich and food friendly, but also a fine aperitif. Apricot and grapefruit flavors are round and rich, but with considerable minerality as well. This is a beautiful wine that can improve with age, at least through 2030. – Cellar Selection

Roederer s 2006 Brut Cristal is striking in its sense of lift and delicacy, serving as one of many instances where those bringing preconceptions of this vintage s warmth and ripeness of fruit to their experience may be pleasantly surprised. A nose of fresh apple, fennel and cucumber sets up associations with a slaw or salad that are crisply, lusciously and refreshingly redeemed on the palate. A garland of honeysuckle and heliotrope complements subtle suggestions of raw almond and vanilla, while alkaline and iodine notes as well as cooling but pungent green herbal notes add to the soothing yet stimulating finish. This exceptionally poised, refined, and buoyant performance is apt to gain depth with a few years bottle age.

Champagne Blend

Champagne Blend, renowned for its sparkling wines, is a distinguished combination of three key grape varieties – Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. Although its origins lie in the Champagne region of northern France, this blend has transcended borders and found its place in winemaking practices worldwide, particularly in New World countries like the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The Champagne region's unique climatic conditions, characterized by its cool continental climate and cold autumns due to its northerly latitude, have been instrumental in shaping the blend's composition. In this challenging environment, the selected grape varieties had to be capable of ripening fully despite the climate constraints. Pinot Noir, comprising 38 percent of... Read More

Champagne

The Champagne region, nestled in the northeastern part of France, boasts a winemaking heritage that stretches back through the annals of history. Revered worldwide for its exquisite sparkling wines, this region's allure is intricately tied to its unique geographical and climatic characteristics, producing some of the world's most coveted wines.

Champagne's vinous legacy traces its roots to the Middle Ages when still wines were produced here. However, it was in the 17th century that the magical transformation occurred – the discovery of effervescence through secondary fermentation in the bottle. This serendipitous revelation led to the birth of Champagne as we know it today, with its characteristic bubbles... Read More
