Louis Roederer, Cristal Brut 2002 (1 MAG)

Louis Roederer, Cristal Brut 2002

Level above foil, scuffed label

60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 17% oak fermented. All 45 parcels of Cristal- level vineyards went into this, no doubt contributing to its clear complexity. In 2018, this has such a great, winey nose, followed by cinnamon, cloves and biscuits on the palate, with the 2002 vanilla notes. At the same time, there are mineral and saline elements - bliss really. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
