The NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Roises (2014) 60 months is based on the 2014 vintage, supplemented by 10% of reserve wines from 2013, and it was disgorged with 2.4 grams per liter dosage in March 2020. Exhibiting aromas of warm bread, Asian pear, orange oil, peach and praline, it's full-bodied, layered and enveloping, with huge depth and amplitude, its concentrated core of fruit framed by racy acids and chalky structure, concluding with a long, intensely saline finish. It's almost impossible to choose between these two late-disgorged cuvées of Les Roises and Les Enfers, and readers who share my admiration for these vinous, intensely flavored Champagnes should spare no efforts to acquire whatever they can of either bottling.
