he complexity and youthful freshness here makes a striking Champagne that offers immense pleasure and a certain richness and depth that reflects the style of the vintage with some warmth reflected in the wine. The nose has rich citrus and stone fruits, some white flowers, light creamy honey notes and fresh sweet pastry, it has a toasty thread that has built quickly in the wine. Plenty of body on the palate, it has a wealth of assertive citrus and more exotic fruits too, the power and concentration undeniable, the length impressive and the balance impeccable. Already great drinking here. Slightly higher chardonnay component at around 45%

Vibrant and mouthwatering, this offers a range of patisserie pear and apple fruit, candied lemon zest, pastry dough and marzipan notes set on a finely detailed texture, which imparts a great deal of finesse. The lasting finish echoes a smoky mineral note. Drink now through 2025. 20,000 cases imported. –AN

The 2005 Cristal stands out for its exceptional inner perfume and elegance. Soft, delicate and pretty, the 2005 is a relatively immediate Cristal with all of the signatures very much in the right place. The 2005 doesn’t have the opulence of the 2002 nor the focus of the 2004, but it is a very pretty, if somewhat small-scaled version of this iconic Champagne. I would drink the 2005 while the 2002 and 2004 age. Although Cristal has an impeccable track record when it comes to aging, personally I would not push it with the 2005. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. <br/><br/>

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.
