Louis Roederer, Cristal Brut 2000 (1 MAG)

Louis Roederer, Cristal Brut 2000

Good level and appearance

In 2011, lovely honey and spice bouquet. Cool lanolin and vanilla on the middle palate, with a touch of cloves. Rich, full, open and opulent. Soft and all-embracing, finishing on a note of lemon. This ticks all the boxes. In 2013, a glorious nose of hawthorn, orange peel and cloves. Lovely honied taste, so fresh and bouncy and yet with immense depth. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
