2015 Louis Roederer "Cristal" Brut Champagne
VN: 96 RP: 95
The 2015 Louis Roederer “Cristal” Brut Champagne is composed of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay and is treated to 25% fermentation in oak. It did not undergo any malolactic fermentation and was dosed at 7 grams per liter. It is principally from Verzenay, Verzy, Beaumont-sur-Vesle and Aÿ for the Pinot Noir and Avize, Mesnil and Cramant for the Chardonnay. Jean-Baptiste explained that the heat of 2015 was strong, but the trick for Cristal was to pick late nevertheless- they started on the 7th of September and finished on the 20th. Some wines from 2015 come across as green because the flavor maturity did not come as fast as the sugar maturity, and he couldn’t let that happen with Cristal. -Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer
