1999 Louis Roederer Cristal98pt.Drink データなしOne of the finest Champagnes I have ever brought to my lips, the 1999 Cristal bursts from the glass with fresh hazelnut and apple scents. Elegant, deep, and silky-textured, this medium to full-bodied beauty is immensely concentrated, pure, packed with apple flavors, and astoundingly long in the finish. Louis Roederer does not display a disgorgement date or consumer friendly lot number on its non-vintage Brut. This is regrettable as it has consistently b...

He furthers, "It’s not just Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, but the chalk that brings the ultimate finesse, length and precision of Cristal." Forty-five blocks with averaging age of 43-years-old, low-yielding vines form the base of Cristal, which is usually made of approximately 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. Due to an early bu...

2006 Louis Roederer Cristal93pt.DrinkデータなしRoederer’s 2006 Brut Cristal is striking in its sense of lift and delicacy, serving as one of many instances where those bringing preconceptions of this vintage’s warmth and ripeness of fruit to their experience may be pleasantly surprised. A nose of fresh apple, fennel and cucumber sets up associations with a slaw or salad that are crisply, lusciously and refreshingly redeemed on the palate. A garland of honeysuckle and heliotrope complements subtle sug...

生産者ルイ・ロデレールLouis Roedererヴィンテージ1999ワイン名クリスタルCristal容量1500ml解説パーカーポイント：90点予想される飲み頃：NATasted in Hong Kong. This is a delightful, if not profound Cristal. The nose is fragrant with similar traits as the bottle poured at the IMW tasting with touches of hazelnut and here, a little corn flour. It is very crisp on the entry with touches of spice, orange sorbet, butter toast and walnut with a harmonious finish that just needs a little more persistency. It remains very primal, so I would afford this at l...

生産者ルイ・ロデレールLouis Roedererヴィンテージ1989ワイン名クリスタルCristal 容量1500ml解説Wine Spectator：92点予想される飲み頃：-2002Rich and deep, ripe and full-bodied, this offers toasty, almond, spice and even white-chocolate flavors, emphatic yet harmonious. Has firm mouthfeel and a long finish; though the flavors are maturing, it will still evolve well. Drink now through 2002. 25,000 cases made.(Wine Spectator Apr 30, 1997)

Louis Roederer Cristal2005 Louis Roederer Cristal93pt.Drink2012-2020The 2005 Cristal stands out for its exceptional inner perfume and elegance. Soft, delicate and pretty, the 2005 is a relatively immediate Cristal with all of the signatures very much in the right place. The 2005 doesn’t have the opulence of the 2002 nor the focus of the 2004, but it is a very pretty, if somewhat small-scaled version of this iconic Champagne. I would drink the 2005 while the 2002 and 2004 age. Although Cristal ha...

クリスタル 2007 収穫 2007年は全体的に気温が高く、予想外の強い気象に見舞われた年でした。春は温かく、夏は涼しく、8月末には旱魃がぶり返しましたが、最後には見事に成熟し、理想的な条件のもとで収穫が行われました。 発酵と醸造 ピノ・ノワール58％、シャルドネ42％、オーク材の大樽で週一回撹拌して醸造したワイン15％。マロラクティック発酵は行いません。クリスタルのキュヴェはグランクリュの「モンターニュ・ド・ランス」「ヴァレ・ド・ラ・マルヌ」「コート・デ・ブラン」から醸成しています。地下ワインセラーで平均して5年間熟成させ、澱抜きのあと、熟成の仕上げにさらに8ヵ月寝かせます。ドザージュは1リットル当り9,5g。 スタイル クリスタル2007は、クリスタル独特の「理性的な力強さ」の典型的なボトルです。ここで言う力強さはヴィンテージから来た力と言うよりも、クリスタル醸造のために生き続ける老樹の凝縮度と、ドメーヌの地下の石灰質土壌から来る繊細さです。 テイスティング 暖かいオレンジ色がかった輝きを持つ黄金色。 見事な泡で、細かく規則的で躍動的。 クラシックなブーケは、ほのかでエレガント。ジ...

2004 Louis Roederer Cristal97pt.Drink2014-2034The 2004 Brut Cristal has put on quite a bit of weight since I first tasted it earlier this year. It is a powerful, structured Cristal layered with considerable fruit. Chardonnay seems to play the leading role in 2004, at least today. Cristal is often accessible young, but that is far from the case here. This is a serious, painfully young Cristal that will require considerable patience. Readers who are willing to spend some time with the wine today w...
