Description
Stephan Reinhardt: The 2009 Cristal Rose is a rich and intenseexpression of Roederer's Cristal. Due to roughly 55% of old-vinesPinot Noir from Ay's calcareous clay soils and the sunny vintage,it has super luscious fruit with a velvety, caressing andpowdery-chalky texture and great depth that gives it very goodpotential to age. There is also remarkable purity, finesse andtension in the energetic 2009, which cellar master Jean-BaptisteLecaillon compares with the 2012 and the enchanting style ofVosne-Romannee. The 2009 Cristal Rose is like a laser beam on thepalate, very straight, sharp and precise yet elegant, intenselyfruity and chalky. Very fine wild red fruit flavors feature on thenose, with crystalline freshness on the chalky palate. This is agorgeous Cristal and another great 2009. In contrast to the 2009white Cristal, the Rose is perfect to drink now, perhaps only for afew months before it shuts down to start its real life in a coupleof years. Tasted at the domaine in May 2018.
