Color comes from prolonged skin infusion rather than blending in still red wine — a technique Roederer uses to preserve aromatic precision and produce a cleaner, more focused pink fruit expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2017 was one of the hardest frost years in modern Champagne history. Late April frosts cost Roederer 35–40% of its Pinot Noir crop and 23% in the Côte des Blancs. What survived is concentrated and taut — and after 54 months on the lees, the wine has built the toasted brioche complexity that separates aged vintage Champagne from the rest. Falstaff 96 pts.
