"Wine Enthusiast 97 ""The latest incarnation of this famous Champagne now comes from Roederer's own vineyards, a good portion of which are run on biodynamic lines. This still-young wine has great depth and richness, a beautiful balance between ripe fruit and crisp texture that make it alive, crisp and bright. As it matures, it will deepen and become even more intense. Drink now if you must, but preferably wait until 2019."""
"52% Chardonnay, 48% Pinot Noir, 4% aged reserve wine (vintage '99)
Fine tiny bubbles and a long lasting mousse are the usual footprints of the L'ERMITAGE cuvée. This cuvée is showing great notes of "tarte tatin": baked apples and buttery crust, with notes of apricot and delicate vanilla bean. The mouthfeel is creamy, expresses flavors of quince and bread crust, with a clean and crisp yet long finish."
Although it is still young, this vintage of Cristal promises great things. There s an impressive balance between ripe fruit and crisp acidity, rich and food friendly, but also a fine aperitif. Apricot and grapefruit flavors are round and rich, but with considerable minerality as well. This is a beautiful wine that can improve with age, at least through 2030. - Cellar Selection
This elegant version shows beautiful texture and a sense of finesse despite the underlying power of vibrant acidity and smoky minerality. Drink now through 2028.—A.N.
