Louis Roederer Champagne Vintage Brut 2004





Only grapes of property – 65% Chardonnay and 35% Pinot Noir - for this assembled cuvée, malolactic only partly carried out, and a little less than six years sur lattes.

In this vintage, there is all the style maison, from the nose, which remembers and recalls, albeit with different amplitudes and different facets, their Brut Premier. Therefore, an olfactory attitude that is expressed by combining freshness and maturity, roasting and suffused woody tones, with a distinct set of aromatic herbs and candied citrus fruits, fine spices and a very sharp mineral side.

The palate, gives me sips so dense, so complex, in large part endorsing the olfactory scheme. However, the lack of acidity, fades the ardor, allowing, to the sugar residue, some space too and, in fact, substantially flattening the cup.

Fair and reasonable, to expect a little more, from these bowls.
