November 20, 2023 - Incredible intensity! I can smell the pastry notes from feet away! Palate is bursting with green apple, tree fruit and citrus. High acidity, but not overwhelming. Incredible finish.
Medium gold colour.
Pronounced intensity aromas of brioche, apple pie, lemon tart, fresh pear, green apple, fresh lemon, lemon zest, pink grapefruit, white blossoms, wet stone.
Pronounced palate.
Medium body, high acidity, delicate mousse, long finish.1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 18, 2023 - Mag, 2015 base. Pale straw. Young and vibrant, some mid palate depth and richness but still elegant, floral and about line rather than development. Needs a couple of years in this format for my palate. ***1/2

October 28, 2023 - Nice autolytic notes, fresh pear and apple with a citric accent. Mineral notes of wet stone. Fresh acidity with good tension, but leading into a tiring finish. Confirms last couple of bottles and drinking window of 7-8 years tops if you want to catch this in its prime.

October 28, 2023 - Maturing profile showing some age. Pear fruit, smoke as well as autolytic and nutty notes. Latter more prevalent on the palate. Still drinks nicely but judging from this badge it would appear 5-8 years drinking window if you want to catch this in its prime.

By Catherine Fallis, MS, CWP
July 2008 (link)(NV Louis Roederer Champagne Brut Premier) This is a great choice for those with Cristal taste, but without the fat wallet. The opulent house style carries through from top to bottom. Pale straw in color, this masculine wine entices the nose with rich vanilla, maple-syrup, caramel-apple, and ginger-ale notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with bold caramel and cream-soda notes, followed by sea spray and then crisp, delicious apple. The finish is clean and crisp. The Shifting Landscape of Champagne
