The Cristal champagne from Louis Roederer is the extremely exclusive champagne that is only made in the best years. Once specially made for the Russian Tsarenhof, now appreciated by enthusiasts worldwide. Unfortunately extremely scarce.
The grapes come from 4 plots - two in Aÿ, one in Mesnil and one in Avize - all selected for their ripeness and their ability to develop further. There is a spicy and exotic nose with quite expressive red fruit and a more pinot-driven shape and structure. The taste has very firm phenols, which will benefit from further aging. The silkiness is there, especially on the finish. Give this until 2020 and 10+ years after that. Much more powerful, structured style than the regular Cristal. This 2013 Cristal Rosé comes from 100% biodynamic farming on these four plots. The cellar master Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon describes the Cristal Rosé as a laser beam in the palate, very straight, sharp and precise yet elegant, intensely fruity and chalky. Very fine aromas of wild red fruit on the nose, with a nice freshness on the chalky palate. The delicious champagne is in a beautiful bottle and packed in an extremely luxurious gift box. The 2013 Cristal Rosé has received the near-maximum score of 99/100 points from Parker and 98/100 from Suckling and has a drinking window to 2060+
