98 /100

One of the greatest wines of Louis Roederer's contemporary chapter, the 2013 Cristal continues to impress. Tasted from magnum, which was disgorged in September 2024 with a dosage of 7.5 grams per liter, it wafts from the glass with a bouquet of white flowers, lemon zest and toasted hazelnut, mingling with iodine and smoke. Qualitatively speaking, it's "a copy of 2012 with a month longer growing cycle," summarizes Lecaillon, and it's indeed true that these two wines represent the high points of the of the decade so far—as only time will tell what Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon will achieve with 2019. Expecting a crystalline, electric wine, given the cool, late-ripening season, the 2013 indeed delivers a Champagne that is bright, with incredible clarity and concentration, even if it's undeniably a leaner version than its immediate predecessor. Since its release, I've enjoyed the 2013 Cristal several times from my own cellar, but having the opportunity to appreciate it from a magnum delivered an even more textural and seamless experience, emphasizing its chalky personality and laser precision.

98 /100

Light golden yellow, silver reflections, fine, persistent mousse. Inviting bouquet of orange blossom and white almonds, a hint of green apple, delicately smoky minerality; with air some mint and verbena. Full-bodied on the palate, fine stone-fruit notes, white fruit, very racy and incredibly animating, precise like a laser. Has improved once again in terms of harmony and complexity over the last three years, has now reached a first, youthful drinking window. Lingers for a long time, characterized by the typical salinity on the finish. Impressive performance. (PM, 09/25).

Magnums of Cristal are always released a couple of years after the original release of a vintage. And the 2013 is gorgeous. It's linear and extremely long, showing real energy and vibe with crushed chalk and stone. Medium-bodied, tight and still structured, with phenolic tension and intensity. Fresh finish. Demonstrates the reserve power of Crystal. Drink or hold.

About the grape

Chardonnay - Pinot Noir

Chardonnay - Pinot Noir – verdens fineste mousserende vine

Chardonnay - Pinot Noir blandes almindeligvis for at producere mousserende vine over hele verden. De bedste cuvées fremstilles typisk efter den traditionelle méthode champenoise og kan produceres som vintage (årgangsvin) eller non-vintage (ikkevintage).

Hvad bidrager hver drue med?

Chardonnay: Leverer tekstur, nøddeagtige aromaer og brioche-noter – finesse og elegance
Pinot Noir: Tilfører en mylder af aromaer og rødfrugtsnoter – struktur og dybde
Proportionerne af Chardonnay og Pinot Noir varierer efter producentens præferencer og årgangsbetingelser, men lige store mængder af de to druer er ikke ualmindeligt.

Stilspektrum

Vine lavet i denne stil kan være sprøde og friske i nogle eksemplarer, stålsatte og mineraldrevne i andre, eller have karakteristika af brød, toast og smør. De bedste vine har elementer fra alle disse kategorier og er rige, integrerede og kælderegnede.

Sødmen varierer betydeligt afhængigt af producentens ønskede stil:

Brut: Tørre vine
Sec: Halvtørre vine
Doux: Søde vine
Mousserende rosé

Mousserende rosé er en anden almindelig fortolkning af blendingen. Den fremstilles ved at tilsætte en lille mængde rød Pinot Noir-vin til cuvéen, eller lejlighedsvis ved at tillade en forlænget periode med skalkontakt før juicen presses. Som følge heraf har mousserende rosé mere rødfrugtkarakteristika end sin hvide pendant og en farve der spænder fra lys laksefarvet til brilliant rubin.

Serving

Sådan serverer du Chardonnay - Pinot Noir

Temperatur: Kølig servering

Server ved 6-10°C:

Lette, unge vine: 6-8°C – fremhæver friskhed
Vintage og komplekse vine: 8-10°C – frigiver brioche og nødder
