Cristal, Louis Roederer
Description
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. Drink now - 2050 (96 pts, William Kelley) Produced Organically.

Producer Details
Louis Roederer was founded in 1776 and is still run by the same family, with Frédéric Rouzaud now at the helm. In 2012 the Rouzaud family purchased Champagne Leclerc Briant, which not only increased their total vineyard ownership but means that Louis Roederer is now the biggest biodynamic producer in Champagne.
