Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Brut 2009  - First Bottle

Reviews

97 James Suckling -
A very rich and full-bodied Cristal that harks back to 2006 or 1989 in style. It's round and rich, which underlies the ripeness of the vintage. Lots of dried-apple and pineapple character with bread dough and flan flavors. The bubbles are so fine you almost don't notice them. Very vinous style. Drink now.
97 Wine Enthusiast -
The latest incarnation of this famous Champagne now comes from Roderer'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.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

There’s not a lot we can tell you savvy Champers drinkers about Cristal that you don’t already know, but it is worth noting that 2009 was a warm vintage and the style is a little bigger and rounder than is often the case -- making it FREAKING irresistible right now...we drank a few bottles last week and man, you cannot put it down!! Chef de Cave (head winemaker) Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon actually prefers the 2009 to the already legendary 2008! It's also notable that Cristal is now produced from 100% estate grown vineyards which are farmed organically, which is a big differentiator when stacked up against wines like Dom Perignon and Krug. Simply put Cristal lives up to all the hype and the 2009 is FANTASTIC!

There’s very little to go around. $1139.70 a 6-pack DELIVERED, but of course you can always order one or two and take advantage of our best-in-the-biz shipping rates ($10 flat rate on 1-5 bottles)! EVEN BETTER -- grab a few Cristal and round out your 6-pack for free shipping with a few of our cool Champagne selections -- peruse the whole kittenkaboodle HERE. You can never have enough bubbly around! Have a great weekend!!
