2000 Roederer Brut Vintage ($70)

Village: Reims; Blend: 66% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay; Style: Vintage line.

Notes: A fantastic vintage wine from the house of Roederer, famed for high-end Cristal. Super creamy with bright acidity that sings and lingers. An impressive wine with a lot of complexity and layers of characters. Ripe citrus, cooked yellow fruits including quince. Super long finish. Lovely!
