2014 Champagne Louis Roederer Cristal Rose

Louis Roederer's Cristal champagne is the extremely exclusive champagne that is only made in the best years. Once specially made for the Russian Tsar's court, now appreciated by enthusiasts worldwide. Unfortunately extremely scarce. The grapes come from 4 parcels - two in Aÿ, one in Mesnil and one in Avize - all selected for their ripeness and ability to develop further. There is a racy and exotic nose with quite expressive red fruit and a more pinot-driven shape and structure. The palate has very firm phenolics, which will benefit from further ageing. The silkiness is there, especially on the finish. Give this until 2020 and then 10+ years. Much more powerful, structured style than regular Cristal. This 2013 Cristal Rosé comes from 100% biodynamic farming on these four parcels. Cellar Master Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon describes the Cristal Rosé as a laser beam on the palate, very straight, sharp and precise yet elegant, intensely fruity and chalky. Very fine wild red fruit aromas on the nose, with a lovely 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 almost maximum score of 99/100 points from Parker and 98/100 from Suckling and has a drinking window up to 2060+
