Louis Roederer

Cristal Brut Champagne Chardonnay Pinot Noir Blend 2002

2002 vintage in magnum. Light lemon hue. Wonderful nose. Wet rocks and lemon-lime profile, with dough, toast and hints of nuts. Stone fruit - white peach and underripe apricot. On the palate, wonderful balance and harmony. This is a great wine - everything works here, although still very youthful. Lovely mid palate concentration, but no excess richness. There's a purity with this wine which is very Crystal. Long and elegant finish. — 10 years ago

They're all pretty special. Nakedness across the board. PN and Syrah may take longer to "appreciate", as they differ substantially from most other CA- wines of named varieties. Go for the cheaper Carignan to begin with! And do let me know what you think!

@gideonbeinstock will assist you directly from the winery; no problem. You wanna add some PN and Syrah to your first order as well! Just le them age for few years before popping one. Close Saron's wines ages magnificently! (Despite low SO2, etc)
