Smakt 06/23:
Lys strå på farge, klar og ren med delikate små bobler. 
På duft er der mandler, epler, bakte sitroner og hvit sjokolade. Vi finner medium kropp med nydelig munnfølelse.  Ettersmaken er lang med en smak av noe mineralsk/«kalkete». 
Syren er høy, konsentrasjon og friskhet ligeså, balanse på topp, nei, hva skal man si; en delikat, frisk og kremete deilig champagne. 

60% PN/40% chard. 10 år på lees. Ingen malo. 

Certified Sommelier

The nose is fruity with yellow fruits and is silky and elegant. The autolysis is completely clean and with toast. The palate is fruity, intensely acidic, finely balanced, light, silky, and with gorgeous mousse. The finish is long and complex. 

It is an amazing champagne, which is young, yet completely open and nice to drink now. 98 points. 

Expert

Gul på farge, klar og ren. Epler, sitrus, aprikos boller på duft. Elegant, delikat, fine bobler, sitrusdreven lang lengde. Presis og lekker. Intens og balansert. 

The 2016 Cristal is a blend of 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay with 7 grams per liter of dosage. No malo-lactic was performed here, and 31% of the base wines were aged in French oak. The nose begins with bright red berry notes of fresh raspberries and strawberries before opening out to a complex undercurrent of saffron, white chocolate, talc, baker’s yeast, and emerging wafts of citron blossom and pear tart. The palate is very dry and spicy, not needing even a touch more sweetness thanks to the abundance of ripe berry and citrus flavors, delivering beautifully knit acidity and typically tiny, persistent bubbles. It finishes with notes of effervescent chalkiness and saffron flowers, leaving you reaching for another sip.

94P🌟 Fantastisk intensitet hele veien - god konsentrasjon med herlig smakbilde. Syrestruktur i toppklasse. 

WSET 2

Lys gul på farge, ren og klar. 
Nokså ekspressiv og åpen på duft, på tross av ung alder, preget av epler, pærer, bakt sitron, toast og brioche. Livlig, kremete mousse, god fylde, nydelig fast struktur med høy syre og lang lengde med modne sitroner i utgangen. En vin sin gir mye og lover enda mer. 

Apple, vanilla, butter, flowers, peach, apricot, honey, lemon, lemon peel, almond, salt, caramel, minerals, pineapple, acacia and some raspeberry. Very nice concentration, fantastic complexity, firm, smooth and long rich aftertaste. A fantastic champagne!

The nose is velvety, silky, fruity and mineral. There are green apples, clementines and lemons. There are also chalk and a little popcorn. The autolysis is perfectly clean and elegant with bread-dough and toast. The palate is fruity and acidic in fine balance. There is lemon and limestones. 

It is complex, silky, soft and incredibly appealing. It is however still a pretty dense fruit core that needs time. The finish is long, elegant and acidic. It is very young and will have a long future, but it is still lovely to drink now.

It is very early to drink this, but it is interesting to see how it is. The nose has yellow fruit, sea, oysters, kelp, salt and minerals. The smell is wonderfully appealing. The palate has a lovely mousse, fruit like lemon, minerals and good acidity. It is almost weightless. The finish is very long. Incredibly great wine that was nice to drink now, but which also has a great future potential. 95 points with clear upside.

Deep golden. Intense nose of mushroom, moss, nougat, walnut, lemon and pastry. Medium+ acidity and body with additional flavours of caramel, almond and lime. Excellent long lasting tiny bubbles. Very rich, complex and balanced with a long+ finish. 

Pale lemon yellow. Nice small bubbles. Deep aromas of toast, bread, candied lemon, yellow apples, light nuts and minerals. Fresh acidity. Crisp, vibrant and playful with green apples, brioche, raspberries and minerals. Balanced and very long.

Louis Roederer Cristal 2004 Late Release - a prestige cuvée for the tsars and the stars🍾🤴🏼🌟

House: Louis Roederer (Reims) 
Bottle: Cristal 2004 Late Release
Grapes: 57 % Pinot Noir & 43 % Chardonnay 
Dosage: 9 g/L (Brut)

Characteristics:
The colour is pale gold with a silky and delicate mousse. 

On the nose, it is really intense, but balanced, with lots of fresh lemons, lime, ripe red apples, sweet cream, brioche and a slightly hint of yeast and minerals.

On the palate, it is rich, vibrant and fresh with elegant notes of sweet apples and vanilla (like tarte tatin), brioche, butter, citrus, gooseberry and pineapple. It has a very delicate roundness, a delicious and well-balanced depth and an effortlessly long and detailed finish. It is still a quite young vintage, but it was so tasty this night that we do not see why you should wait. Try it! 🍾🥂

Cristal is Louis Roederer’s flagship cuvée. It was created in 1876 and is composed of Grand Crus from the Montagne de Reims, the Marne Valley and the Côte des Blancs.

In 1876, Tsar Alexander II - who was already a great lover of the champagnes from Louis Roederer - asked Roederer to take the exercise still further and create a cuvée for the personal use of the tsar which was unique, in terms of both its style and the bottle. 

Louis Roederer selected the best vines from seven Grand Crus on his estate and offered the tsar an exceptional flat-bottomed, transparent lead-crystal bottle. And then the first bottle of Cristal was born.

Cristal is aged for 6 years in Louis Roederer’s cellars and left for a further 8 months after disgorgement. However, the late releases has matured for further 8-10 years after disgorgement in the cellars of Louis Roederer.

Value for money: 7 of 10
Rating: 93🍾

This has some bottle variations, but this was a great bottle. The nose has quite ripe white to yellow fruit, and the autolysis is balanced and elegant. The palate is fruity, silky and layered. This is a fantastic Champagne. 98 points.

Gyllen strågul farge. Frisk, imøtekommende og elegant på nesen. Meget små og delikate bobler. Dufter av modne gule epler, bakte sitrusskall, hint av bananskall, brioche, smør og røstede nøtter. Kremet og deilig mousse.  Drikker utrolig godt nå. En elegant pærle av en champagne som jeg tror det er lenge til jeg får smake igjenn. Lengden er den beste jeg har opplevd hittil. Legendarisk vin!

Smørbukk, moden aprikos, flott modning, aprikosdrops, pen sitrende syre, kandisert appelsin

Sommelier

Perfekt moden Cristal, lys farge, marsipan, tørket aprikos, lett mousse, men nok, medium pluss syre, usikker på dosage nivå, men føler det var en del tidligere, ikke søt nå, men får et kandisert steinfrukt preg som jeg bare synes er pent, ikke den største årgangen og vinen, men en flott moden Cristal er alltid en fin opplevelse.

Begynte noe slapp, men var den som utviklet seg best med luft, sødme og smak mot en raffinert appelsinmarmelade, snev av skogbunn og fersk sopp, meget konsentrert (95)
