Cristal Louis Roederer 2009
/ #67602823
Cristal is the house's prestige cuvée from Louis Roederer, produced exclusively in selected years with optimal maturation. The vineyards for Cristal are mainly located in Grand Cru villages on the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs. The cuvée is typically based predominantly on Pinot Noir with an important contribution from Chardonnay, which provides both structure and finesse.
The 2009 vintage in Champagne was characterized by warmth and generosity, resulting in wines with body, ripe fruit and a rounded structure. The vinification for Cristal includes aging on lees, as well as significant bottle aging before release, which contributes to complexity and potential for long shelf life. The wine is known for its balance, precision and aging ability. Bento's external discretion clearly bears the signature of the house style.
This vintage has received 96 points from Wine Advocate and 97 from Vinous.
