2009 Louis Roederer Cristal Millesime Brut (With Box) Italian New wet bitumen and a maelstrom

wet bitumen and a maelstrom of dark fruits reflect the wine’s age and confirm derivation

menthol-like signature

offering commanding views of To-Kalon and Martha's Vineyards

with velvety tannins and a fruity aftertaste

smoke and tar are some of the many nuances that emerge on the dark

2009 Louis Roederer Cristal Millesime Brut (With Box) Italian New wet bitumen and a maelstrom"Wonderful maturing nose of beautifully ripe golden autumn fruits and just a whiff of floral honey, this is rich, mouth filling and graceful with silky acidity and a long caressing finish that is underlined by a delicate chalkiness. Very easy to enjoy. It still has a lively fine mousse. Tasted at the Cristal vertical tasting at the champagne house on July 6th, 2023. Drink or hold." 97 100 James Suckling
