2012 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Millesime Champagne has following scores - Falstaff Magazine 99, Vinous 98 , James Suckling 98, John Gilman's View from the Cellar 98, Wine Enthusiast 98, James Halliday 98. 2012 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Millesime Champagne has the score of 97+ from Robert Parker and the tasting note -Aromas of clear honey, crisp green orchard fruit, white peach, pastry cream and dried white flowers introduce the 2012 Cristal, a full-bodied, concentrated and powerful wine that's built for the cellar. Broader, more textural and more muscular than the 2008 Cristal, with seemingly even greater reserves of structuring dry extract, the 2012 is incisive and searingly chalky. This is the first Cristal produced exclusively from organically farmed fruit, and it marks the opening of a new chapter for Louis Roderer. The blend is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, vinified without malolactic fermentation and disgorged with 7.5 grams per liter dosage. Chef de Caves Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon has once again excelled himself.
