Louis Roederer 2002 Cristal Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $289
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. The one problem is that it is much too young, the result of the demand from the market for the next vintage. Age this wine for at least four years.

Louis Roederer 2004 Cristal Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Cellar Selection
- $229
Exceptionally rich and dense, an exceptional wine that reveals itself in layers, from the first fruit attack to the mineral texture and the way it gradually fills the mouth. Selected from old vines, there is a great flavor in this wine, with the promise of many years’ aging.

Louis Roederer 2005 Millésime Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Cellar Selection
- $70
A superbly rich and creamy wine, powered by ripe Pinot Noir, with elegance and élan. The wine is concentrated, powerful, packed with intense white fruit flavors and citrus. For aging.

Louis Roederer 2002 Blanc de Blancs Brut Chardonnay (Champagne)
- Cellar Selection
- $70
The purity of this wine is impressive. It has a straight line of mineral, flint and grapefruit running through it. Around this, there are layers of fresh apples, lime zest and a tight, taut structure. The one downside to what is a fine wine is that it, like many Roederer vintages, is too young. Give it 4–5 years.

Louis Roederer 1999 Cristal Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $188
A powerful Cristal, which has all the richness of the 1999 vintage. The aromas of white flowers and cocoa lead to a palate that is rich, intense, concentrated, but restrained. It is already drinkable, but should mature well.

Louis Roederer 2000 Cristal Rosé Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $505
Orange-pink in color, this a super-rich rosé. The flavors are of orange zest, citrus and red currants, with a beautiful contrast of hazelnuts. The texture, round and succulent, is still able to offer minerality and a crisp aftertaste.

Louis Roederer 1997 Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $63
If you think Champagne is not just bubbles, but is also wine, then this vintage is for you. It is rounded, rich, powerful, with a fine sense of the red fruits of Pinot Noir. To add further flavors, there are almonds, creaminess and warmth. There is a touch of austere minerality from the low dosage and the lack of malolactic which means it will age well over 10…
