Louis Roederer Cristal 2006
The 2006 Cristal shows rich and ripe (tropical) fruit on the nose along with delicate brioche notes. Round and textured on the palate, this is a generous but fresh, fine and salty Cristal with a very long and greatly finessed finish. Tasted in New York, November 2018.
During the Matter of taste event in New York, when we celebrated the 40th birthday of The Wine Advocate, I gave a Louis Roederer Cristal master class together with Roederer’s chef de cave, Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon. This master class was a great chance to close some gaps in our database. Most of the wines had not yet been reviewed, and those that had been reviewed previously ended up receiving a higher score than right after the release. I did not write new reviews/tasting notes for on the vintages that we published only recently, but the vibrantly chalky and energetic 2008 Cristal is really on a great path.
OBS:Brugtmoms.
