Som altid viser Cristal fine ristede noter i næsen, der minder om stærkt ristet brioche, samt mandler, lidt skovhonning og modent æble. Smagen afslører sprøde Williams-pærer, masser af abrikos og en dekadent cremet smag. Utroligt charmerende, med en lidt stærkere perlage. Dette passer perfekt til Cristal med flaskelagring. En stor champagne og en fortjent prestige-cuvée! 100/100 - Flasken leveres uden ydre emballage.

Suckling om: Champagne Cristal Brut

OMG. A masterpiece. A benchmark. Tight and structured, with fantastic precision and structure. Sharp line of acidity throughout, with fine and tight bubbles. Pineapple, lemon, white apricot, seashell, biscuit, blanched almond and a hint of chamomile. Vertical and mineral. Dosage 7g/L. Special release in magnum and aged two or three years longer on the lees than the normal bottling. I can’t go higher than this. Even better in a few years. 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Champagne Cristal Brut

The 2008 Cristal is a perfect wine, and Champagne simple does not get any better. This incredible wine offers a beautiful perfume of clean, crisp fruits, layers of complexity in its toasted spice and white flowers, and an utterly seamless, yet powerful style on the palate. This is a rich, decadent expression of Cristal yet it’s still crystalline and elegant, with no sensation of weight, and it just glides over the palate. Haut Couture at its finest and this majestic, profound, legendary Cristal can be drunk anytime over the coming 2-3 decades. 100/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Champagne Cristal Brut

This latest incarnation of the famous brand is a superb wine. It is on par with, maybe even better than, the already legendary 2002. Its balance is impeccable: Apple and citrus flavors working with the tight minerality to give a textured yet fruity wine. Produced from Roederer's own vineyards which are mainly biodynamic, the wine has its own intense purity and crispness. It has amazing potential and is likely to age for many years. Drink from 2020. 100/100
