Cristal 2000 Louis Roederer

Professionelle Bewertungen

From a difficult vintage with destructive hailstorms and botrytis, the 2000 Cristal opens with an elegant and delicate bouquet with brioche, ripe apple, green olive and iodine aromas. Complex and very salty, with oyster and umami flavors, this is a generous and very long Cristal that is excellent with Japanese food, such as sashimi for example, as chef de cave Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon said during the tasting in New York in November 2018.

This goes for personality and finesse. An assertive, honeyed style, with plenty of citrus flavors. Mature coffee and roasted nut accents are peeking through, with a robust structure and a dried citrus aftertaste.

Disgorged in 2006, dosage 10 g/l. 58% Pinot Noir, 42% Chardonnay. 24% of the cuvée is fermented in oak. Five years spent on the lees.
Hint of damp plaster on the nose. Then very marked acidity. Lots of citrus. Reminds me a bit of 2013! Though this is richer on the finish. Lots of acidity. (JR)
