Louis Roederer - Vintage - 2013 - 750ml - Louis Roederer

Roederer's newly released 2013 Brut Vintage is showing brilliantly, unwinding in the glass with a youthfully reserved but incipiently complex bouquet of crisp yellow orchard fruit, citrus zest, fresh bread, and honeycomb. Medium to full-bodied, deep, and concentrated, this is a tightly coiled, elegantly muscular Champagne, its layered core of fruit built around an incisive spine of acidity. Seamless and complete, this is an over-performing vintage that puts much prestige cuvées to shame. Built to age, it will reward patience.
