Vinee Beschreibung und Bewertung

Im Original-Karton

100/100 JS

'OMG. A masterpiece. A benchmark. Tight and structured, with fantastic precision and structure. Sharp line of acidity throughout, with fine and tight bubbles. Pineapple, lemon, white apricot, seashell, biscuit, blanched almond and a hint of chamomile. Vertical and mineral. Dosage 7g/L. Special release in magnum and aged two or three years longer on the lees than the normal bottling. I can’t go higher than this. Even better in a few years'

100/100 WE

'This latest incarnation of the famous brand is a superb wine. It is on par with, maybe even better than, the already legendary 2002. Its balance is impeccable: Apple and citrus flavors working with the tight minerality to give a textured yet fruity wine. Produced from Roederer's own vineyards which are mainly biodynamic, the wine has its own intense purity and crispness. It has amazing potential and is likely to age for many years. Drink from 2020.'

100/100 Falstaff

'Helles Grüngelb, Silberreflexe, feines, anhaltendes Mousseux. Frische weiße Pfirsichnote, helle Tropenfrucht, mineralisch, ungemein jugendlich und puristisch. Am Gaumen komplex, feine gelbe Tropenfruchtnuancen, ein Hauch von Pfirsich und Apfel, engmaschig, fester Körper sehr vitale, energische Säurestruktur, schwungvoll, zitronig unterlegter salziger Touch, verfügt über ein ungemein langes Finale, sicheres Reifepotenzial für viele Jahre, finessenreich wie nie zuvor.

98/100 PP

'Disgorged in September 2017 with 7.5 grams per liter dosage, the 2008 Cristal was produced from 37 of the 45 parcels that are candidates for inclusion in this cuvée—some 40% of which were farmed organically back in 2008—and it's a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. The finest young Cristal in decades, the wine wafts from the glass with a pure and vibrant bouquet of crisp orchard fruit, clear honey, warm brioche, citrus zest and white flowers. On the palate, it's full-bodied, intense and incisive, with superb concentration, racy acids and a long, searingly chalky finish. Pristinely balanced, there are some 500,000 bottles of this legend-in-the-making.'

'Dieser wahrlich meisterhafte Cristal 2008 ist nicht nur tief, sondern auch intensiv. Eine Quintessenz der Kreideböden, die zugleich Druck und Spannung verleiht.'
(Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Kellermeister)
