Tasting notes
The 2014 Champagne Vintage Estate La Montagne Brut is elegant and detailed, offering notes of currant, orange zest, and mocha. The palate is balanced and focused, revealing a spine of energy without being austere. It is pure with cherry liqueur, tangerine, and stony mouthfeel and offers impeccable balance and refreshment, which makes it deceptively easy-drinking now. However, it will certainly continue to improve for those who have the patience to wait. Drink 2023-2043.

Roederer's 2014 Brut Vintage is beautiful, offering up aromas of pear, mirabelle plum, red berries, warm biscuits and smoke. Full-bodied, layered and elegantly muscular, it's seamless and complete, with terrific mid-palate depth and amplitude. Framed by bright acids and enlivened by a pinpoint mousse, it concludes with a penetrating finish. The blend is 70% Pinot Noir, emphasizing Verzy, and pressure is a touch higher than in its more ethereal Blanc de Blancs counterpart. As I wrote of its 2013 predecessor, this is a wine that puts many prestige cuvées to shame.
