One of the finest Champagnes I have ever brought to my lips, the 1999 Cristal bursts from the glass with fresh hazelnut and apple scents. Elegant, deep, and silky-textured, this medium to full-bodied beauty is immensely concentrated, pure, packed with apple flavors, and astoundingly long in the finish. Louis Roederer does not display a disgorgement date or consumer friendly lot number on its non-vintage Brut. This is regrettable as it has consistently been one of the finer bottlings in this category.

The exceptional maturity of the harvest (lowest acidity since 1959), along with the quality and quantity was reminiscent of great vintages like 1970 and 1982. In the Côte des Blancs, grape harvesting began on 14 September, while in the Marne Valley, Louis Roederer started two days before everyone else. Average degree levels varied between 10 and 12.5 °C, and the grapes were beautifully healthy. In the Montagne de Reims, everything began on 20 September. During this time, the more abundant plots continued to ripen. Yields from the vineyards of Verzenay and Verzy were close to record levels. As in the Côte des Blancs, weather conditions in August and early September made quality compatible with high yield, thus promising a great vintage. Disgorged 2011. 57% Pinot Noir. Dosage 8 g/l with the same wine. Lovely richness on the nose with real spread of crème pâtissière but very tight and refreshing too. Very satisfying. At peak and very flattering. Long and fresh. Spreads opulently but not dully across the palate. So complete. Such lovely neatness.

In a glass, Roederer moves in a golden atmosphere, carrying little matter. First come youthful aromas of lemons and freshly cut white flowers. Then vanilla rises from the glass. Finally, with age, Roederer releases complex aromas of caramel and chocolate. Its true signature. The secret of these rich and complex aromas? It lies in the dosage liqueur, this precious nectar added directly to the Champagne bottles during their aging. Roederer's champagne liqueur comes exclusively from the finest wines of the house's vineyard, deliberately forgotten in oak barrels for four to ten years. Tasted pure and alone, these nectars could rival the greatest white Burgundies. On the palate, the connoisseur remains fascinated by this wine of great dancer with a nervous and slim body. A dream of superlative elegance, of brilliant celebration that will never end. In the rhythmic whirlwind of movement and dance. The imperial celebration resurrected. A twirling and enchanting waltz.
