ROEDERER CRISTAL 2014

Wine Advocate: 96 points - 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. This bottle was disgorged in June 2021 with seven grams per liter dosage.
