Louis Roederer Brut Rose 2016 (750ML)

95 JS / 94 DE / 94 WE / 93 WS / 93 FS

Fantastic aroma of Mara des Bois strawberries. Very juicy with an explosion of strawberries and ripe nectarines. Stunning vitality due to the bright and fine mousse plus the lively acidity. Long and elegant finish that pulls you back for more. A cuvee of 60% pinot noir from Cumieres and 40% chardonnay from Chouilly. 8 g/l dosage. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. - James Suckling

A nose full of rose petals with orange skin and berry fruits, not as expressive as some of the other Champagnes in the masterclass but this has a lovely soft, and delicate aromatic profile. Tangy lemon, raspberry, strawberry and orange on the palate with a sea spray, saline finish that is particularly moreish. Fully flavoured, round and complete with mouthwatering acidity, lots of sapidity and an extremely long finish. A lovely combination of both bitter and sour elements giving such complexity and nuance on the palate. - GH, Decanter

Finely mature, this bottling is just right. Its fruit has softened and a touch of toastiness has come through to give great balance. The Champagne is totally ready to drink. — Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast

Firm and focused, this finely knit version offers a satiny texture and hints of smoke and oyster shell, which underscore flavors of pureed raspberry, peach skin and blood orange granita, with a rich touch of toasted brioche. Long, lightly spiced finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2030. 2,321 cases imported. - AN, Wine Spectator

Bright salmon pink. Inviting, aromatic nose of dried red fruits, accompanied by blood orange, delicate notes of cassis and some cookie. Finest mousse on the palate with a tasty, red berry texture, mouth watering acidity and a subtle tannin impression. Stays well on the palate. Delicate, savoury, animating finish. A versatile pleasure experience. - Falstaff
