Louis Roederer, Cristal 2014 Champagne Brut 75 cl (I Gaveæske)

Louis Roederer Cristal er husets mest ikoniske prestigechampagne, oprindeligt skabt i 1876 til den russiske zar. Cristal produceres kun i de bedste årgange og udelukkende af druer fra Grand Cru-marker. Champagnen er kendt for sin elegance, finesse og exceptionelle lagringspotentiale.

Louis Roederer Cristal 2014 er en klassisk og ekstremt elegant årgang, præget af præcision, friskhed og tydeligt terroir-udtryk. Året var køligt og udfordrende, men afsluttedes med ideelle forhold, hvilket resulterede i druer med høj aromatisk renhed, markant mineralitet og flot syrestruktur. Cristal 2014 fremstår rank, fokuseret og raffineret – et skoleeksempel på Cristals kølige, aristokratiske stil.

Robert Parker 96 point.

The 2014 Cristal is a terrific effort that transcends the vintage. Bursting from the glass with expressive aromas of ripe citrus fruit, nectarine, white flowers, freshly baked bread and subtle hints of honeycomb, it’s medium to full-bodied, vinous and fleshy, with an exuberant core of fruit that’s girdled by racy acids, resulting in a wine that’s simultaneously chiseled and demonstrative, meaning that early appeal doesn’t come at the expense of the requisite tension for long-term cellaring. Concluding with a long, aromatic and intensely chalky finish, it is a brilliant Champagne that will offer a broad drinking window. This bottle was disgorged in June 2021 with seven grams per liter dosage.
