The 2002 Cristal Rosé has always been suspected of becoming a legend one day. Now, nine years later, the onion-coloured wine has arrived in the Olympus of the finest Champagnes. Clear, matured and vinous on the intense and complex yet very delicate nose, this is a lush, succulent, perfectly round and intense 2002 that equilibrates its generosity and texture with great elegance and spellbinding balance. Stunningly, this seamless, charmingly seductive and voluptuous character is combined with great purity and harmony, especially in the finish that is not just round and caressing but also fresh, piquant and stimulatingly salty. Is there anything more we could expect from a Rosé Champagne? Even if you served me the wine in a black glass, it would still be a gorgeous, beautiful wine. Yes, it's wine rather than anything else, and its bubbly vinosity makes me desperate for more. If I just could, I would marry the 2002 Cristal Rosé straight away. The cuvée reflects a great continental vintage as well as the stupendous terroirs of Aÿ (Pinot Noir: 60%), Avize and Mesnil (Chardonnay: 40%). The bottle I tasted at Roederer in Reims in May 2018 was disgorged in 2011, so, like the 2008, after eight years on the second lees.

The sense of completeness here is stunning. This has very complex aromas of sous-bois, blood oranges and spicy, lightly toasty elements, as well as a wealth of dried roses, brown, woody spices, gunflint and pot-pourri. Expansive, playful palate with exotic pink grapefruit and a silky, soft and fleshy, supple edge. Almost airy, soft, delicate fruit. Full of happiness! Vibrant, succulent cherries to close. Lasts super long. This really is in a great place. Original disgorgement in 2012.

Showing its age well, this wine offers a mature toastiness balanced by rich red fruit. The acidity is well integrated, making this impressive wine ready to drink now. Roger Voss

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
