Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Vinotheque 2002 750ml

A matured yellow colour boasting flowing, delicate bubbles. The nose is rich with ripe fruit aromas of peaches and apricots. In the mouth, you can really taste the concentrated Chardonnay and it has a fresh, lingering finish. This is a remarkably well-balanced champagne and it is ageing wonderfully, still very youthful and surely one of Roederer's best ever.

98 Points - James Suckling

An extraordinary champagne experience that you’ll never forget! Tons of white chocolate on the savory nose pulls you into this concentrated and chalky champagne with rich candied citrus and mirabelle fruit. So much oily umami complexity right through the huge breathtakingly vivid finish. Just 10% of each vintage of Cristal gets the extra years of aging for release as Vinotheque. Tasted at the Cristal vertical tasting at the champagne house on July 6th, 2023. Drink or hold.
