Roederer Cristal Brut 2002

$750
A recent tasting of Louis Roederer Champagnes confirmed why this producer remains at the very forefront of Champagne houses. Cristal is only made in exceptional years from 100% Grand Cru fruit, 55 % pinot noir & 45 % chardonnay. 2002 was a warm, dry vintage, producing a wine that ranks among the very best they have made. Citrus & white florals dominate the nose along with roast nut aromas. The palate is at once creamy, intense, & fine with the citrus giving way to a minerally, chalky, powerful wine that just seems to go on forever. Long & elegant it shows its class in vintages like 2002. - FWC
