Pure yeast notes on the nose. Bone dry on the palate. Calcium overload with crisp Granny Smiths. Not our style. The name suggests that this wine is close to nature, and it certainly is somewhat raw.

The interplay of the radiance of the 2009 vintage, with the natural tension of Cumieres and the no dosage style works beautifully here. A stellar showing!

IMO this is the hidden gem in the Roederer range. From vines in Cumieres. Super excited for the opportunity to help take Delectable to the next level with you!

Enjoying this more than I expected. Beautiful golden color. Gorgeous nose of roasted pear, caramel and brioche. Dry on the palate with round full body.

Plenty of body texture and depth. Slightly caramelized, hint of peach.
