98 Robert Parker
One of the finest Champagnes I have ever brought to my lips, the 1999 Cristal bursts from the glass with fresh hazelnut and apple scents. Elegant, deep, and silky-textured, this medium to full-bodied beauty is immensely concentrated, pure, packed with apple flavors, and astoundingly long in the finish. Louis Roederer does not display a disgorgement date or consumer friendly lot number on its non-vintage Brut. This is regrettable as it has consistently been one of the finer bottlings in this category.<br/>

From the family collection, disgorged ten years after harvest, slightly lower than original dosage. A warm year, the hottest since 1959 at the time, this has high ripeness and plenty of spice, a touch reductive, gentle citrus peel and some candied tropical fruits, clear chalk, dried honey and brioche too. The palate has a compression to it, smooth and finely layered texture here, some flesh and some succulent texture, generous dried red cherry fruit flavours pressed together with layers of more savoury autolysis. Complex and textural Champagne.

High-toned and floral, with hints of coconut and spice. Firm and lively. Needs a little time to integrate and resolve the fine mousse with the tactile finish. More backward and powerful than most 1999s, this has potential. Drink now through 2015. 29,000 cases made. ?BS

Louis Roederer
Louis Roederer, l’une des dernières grandes maisons de champagne indépendantes, fut fondée en 1776 et, fait rare dans la région, est restée dans le giron familial pendant plus de deux siècles. La propriété rémoise comporte plus de 215 hectares de vignobles classés grand cru, plantés des trois cépages traditionnels de la Champagne, à savoir le chardonnay, le pinot noir et le pinot meunier. Le domaine utilise un système parcellaire, technique qui garantit la préservation des caractéristiques propres à chaque cru jusqu’au moment de l’assemblage, permettant ainsi une véritable traçabilité. La célèbre cuvée Cristal a été créée en 1876 à la demande du tsar Alexandre II. Elle est devenue aujourd’hui un symbole de statut social mais aussi le champagne le plus savoureux, avec une grande constance. Outre cette cuvée, la plus prestigieuse au monde, la maison élabore un Brut Premier multi-millésime dont la qualité dépasse de loin les autres champagnes millésimés. En collaboration avec Philippe Starck, la famille a lancé en 2006 un Brut Nature. Cette cuvée spéciale est le fruit de pratiques culturales biodynamiques personnalisées qui se conjuguent pour donner naissance au style de champagne maison le plus anticonformiste.
