Brut Vintage 2013 Louis Roederer

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

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 many prestige cuvées to shame. Built to age, it will reward patience.

A polished Champagne, sleek and mouthwatering, with a lovely, mineral-laced underpinning to the finely knit flavors of star fruit, anise, crushed raspberry and slivered almond, this is fresh and focused, with a pleasing, creamy viscosity to the racy finish.
