Description
David Schildknecht: Roederer's 2006 Brut Cristal is striking in itssense of lift and delicacy, serving as one of many instances wherethose bringing preconceptions of this vintage's warmth and ripenessof fruit to their experience may be pleasantly surprised. A nose offresh apple, fennel and cucumber sets up associations with a slawor salad that are crisply, lusciously and refreshingly redeemed onthe palate. A garland of honeysuckle and heliotrope complementssubtle suggestions of raw almond and vanilla, while alkaline andiodine notes as well as cooling but pungent green herbal notes addto the soothing yet stimulating finish. This exceptionally poised,refined, and buoyant performance is apt to gain depth with a fewyears' bottle age.
