Roederer Cristal 2006 in giftbox

Roederer Cristal 2006 boasts the signature Cristal aroma profile, with vibrant notes of citrus, peach, pineapple, apricot, vanilla, coconut, and brioche. The intense fruit flavors are beautifully balanced by bright acidity and an impressive mineral core, lending both tension and energy to its smooth, fruit-forward palate. It reflects the vintage's power and richness, derived from the ripeness of grapes in a warm year. Yet, it rises above the vintage's challenges, delivering exceptional balance. Would you know a better choice in 2006?

JAMES SUCKLING 96 Deep maturing nose with plenty of ripe pear and apricot, plus a whiff of smoke. This is a big and powerful champagne with notes of spice and grapefruit alongside some red berry fruit from pinot noir. Long chalky finish that’s more vibrant than the first impression suggests. Tasted at the Cristal vertical tasting at the champagne house on July 6th, 2023. Drink or hold.

Richard Juhlin champagneclub.com 96(95)Just fantastic from the start. A colossal power and beautiful rumbling pinot maturity. It's like chewing on the ripest grapes from Aÿ and Verzenay. At the same time ultra stylish down all the unmistakable cristal essence, peach and mango sweetness, pineapple coconut, vanilla and unreal sprightly acidity and citrus flowery. Many similarities with 2002, but with a clearer pinot touch.
