Write your review here, and rate the wine from 1 to 5 glasses above.Louis Roederer NV Brut - As usual this is very youthful right off the shelf, and benefits from 2-6 years in the cellar, but his has the classic slightly yeasty, apple and toasted, buttery almonds. In the mouth it was predictably tight but combined admirably weight and depth with fine balance and an acid driven, refreshing finish. 91pts

Roederer tends to fit my palate like a good, custom-made shoe. In keeping with the season, there is lots of Christmas Cake on the nose with toasty almond and more candied fruit on entry. The mousse is rich and fine with a continuous outpouring of carbonated spring bubbles long after the first pour. Finish is long and tasty with more candied fruit and a purity of flavor beyond the price. Excellent value!

Bold yet refined. Pours a slightly pale straw colour but the bubbles are fats and small and last long after the bottle has been opened. But the flavour is a powerful and very sweet, biscuit with hints of apple and nuts. One of my favourite NV Champagne's.

Creamy, elegant and gorgeous champagne. Complex layers of pear, spice, honey and vanilla in a smooth, polished style. Very refined and long, complex finish. Great option for NYE! - Tasted at Marché Bacchus 12/12/09

Really nice citrus and fruity notes along with some bread and toast nuances. Bright acidity that lent a very crisp feel to the wine. The tartness of the acidity in the wine gave way to a smooth, creamy mouthfeel that persisted through the decently long finish. This wine had a nice complexity and was far from one-dimensional. I really enjoyed this Champagne and I would definitely recommend it.

Really excellent value. Very full with toasty yeast notes and a mega-long finish. I don't think there's any true Champagne that I like more at this price point.

Die Cuvée Cristal, die fünf Jahre auf der Hefe reift, erfüllt allerstrengste Herstellungskriterien, die eine peinlich genaue Auswahl der Lagen, der Trauben und schließlich der Weine erfordern. Es werden nur Pinot Noir- und die Chardonnay-Trauben der zehn besten Lagen der Weinberge des Hauses Roederer verwendet. Die Cuvée Cristal erfüllt jeden Anspruch an höchstem Genuss; denn nur Komplexität und Eleganz zählt. Kein Wunder, dass Amerikas „Weinpapst“ Robert Parker schreibt: „Als einer der allerfeinsten Champagner, die ich je an meine Lippen führte, präsentiert sich die Cuvée mit Haselnuss und Apfelaromen. Diese Schönheit ist elegant und tief, enorm konzentriert und unglaublich lang anhaltend.“

Originally vinted in 1809 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia, 200 years later it is still the ultimate Champagne; an icon of luxury, style and taste. Wine Enthusiast Magazine scored it 98 points saying "This is an exceptional wine, as is the vintage. The fruits—grapefruit, crisp red apple—balance with a fine yeasty character. There is a great depth of flavor, the fruits going in a pure line of freshness.” But Wine & Spirits Magazine was overwhelmed, granting it a perfect 100 point score , and culminating their rave review with "It's already irresistible, and will only improve with ten, 20, 30 and 40 years of age." Very Limited! All Champagne orders require 3-5 days processing. No express delivery available on Champagne.

A Pinot-dominated cuvee, full-bodied and powerful, hinting at red berry, citrus and honey notes. It starts out elegantly, gaining grip and intensity, with appealing flavors and a persistent finish. Drink now.

A memorable, full-bodied brut with assertive, complex flavors and a lingering finish. Aromas of fresh bread and toasted walnut are backed up by crisp, full-bore fruit flavors. Drink now.

From the famous maker of Cristal comes a truly lovely, ripe bottle of bubbly, bursting with buttered, roasted nuts and lemony fruit. The Brut Premier spends a little extra time in bottle before being released. It makes for a forward, lush and just plain delicious style of Champagne rather that one that is especially complex or elegant. If anything, this bottle will put you in a boisterous mood and keep any party hardy.

A crisp and appetizing Champagne that emphasizes lemon and apple flavors with accents of vanilla and cinnamon. Elegant in its completeness and smooth texture.

<p>The jewel of the House is Cristal, created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II. Cristal is made according to the strictest criteria, based on a drastic process of selection applying to the vintage, the cru, the village, the grapes and finally the wines. Only Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from the House&rsquo;s ten most celebrated crus are used in the production of this legendary champagne.</p>
