{"id":63632080924,"title":"Louis Roederer Cristal '09","handle":"louis-roederer-cristal-2009","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cspan\u003eThe secret of Cristal is that it’s built to age, and its reductive style screams out for some years of post- disgorgement to truly blossom. For its price and reputation, Cristal is a relatively early release in the world of prestige cuvées, though Lécaillon points out that 30 years ago it enjoyed only 3 years on lees, when he joined \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe company 20 years ago it only had 4, and now it has 6 or 7. Notwithstanding, Cristal is the first 2009 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprestige cuvée to hit the streets. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLécaillon describes 2009 as a ‘tutti-fruity year’, yet holding its freshness, luminous and bright. He has given it the lowest dosage of any Cristal ever. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt’s a generous and creamy cuvée, true to its dry, hot, sunny and ripe vintage. It leads out succulent and complex, with juicy peach and apple fruit, even hints of pineapple, and the complexity of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eage in fresh, spicy ginger, honey biscuits and nougat. Subtle gun-flint reduction brings complexity, while respecting the purity of its fruit. It changes up a gear on the finish, gaining velocity and energy from the tension of malic acidity and the pronounced texture of grapefruit pith that embodies a seamless accord between fine, salt chalk \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eminerality, the mouthfeel of lees age and subtle phenolic bitterness. These elements all settle comfortably into place in balance and harmony, albeit disparate at this youthful age. As ever with Cristal, all it asks for is time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSummary of the wine: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e60% pinot noir, 40% chardonnay; a pool of 50 hectares of vines averaging 42 years of age on the most chalky mid-slopes, yielding 50% less than the appellation; 60% biodynamic vineyards, with a goal of 100% by 2020; 16% fermented in 60-hL casks with bâtonnage for power, vinosity and a touch of spice and vanilla complexity; no malolactic fermentation; 8.5g\/L dosage; typically 150,000–300,000 bottles\"\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTyson Stelzer - The Champagne Guide 2018-2019\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the house\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis house has serious pedigree and a long history of making outstanding wines. Roederer is still family owned and run and has a significant land holding of over 230 hectares allowing them to supply 70% of their grape requirements with excellent fruit. We are impressed by Louis Roederer’s increasing commitment to exploring biodynamics, both with treatment of their vast vineyard holdings plus the recent acquisition of a 15 hectare biodynamic parcel from Leclerc Briant. A relatively small 3 million bottles per annum of production are exported, largely to the USA. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Suggestion \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake this prestige cuvee to another level and serve with caviar. Take the caviar straight from the back of the hand so that you can appreciate its beauty.

Subtle gun-flint reduction brings complexity, while respecting the purity of its fruit. It changes up a gear on the finish, gaining velocity and energy from the tension of malic acidity and the pronounced texture of grapefruit pith that embodies a seamless accord between fine, salt chalk \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eminerality, the mouthfeel of lees age and subtle phenolic bitterness.

Billecart-Salmon (pronounced \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003ebeel-kahr sahl-moh) have a fresh, clean and elegant style.

The absolutely pristine wine making facilities located in Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ are overseen by multiple generations of the family as well as chef winemaker Francois Domi. The house purposely ferments at a lower temperature elongating the ferment to weeks and not days as can be standard in champagne, which helps capture the pristine nature of the fruit.

{"id":1480285618285,"title":"Moët \u0026 Chandon Vintage 2008 by Moët \u0026 Chandon","handle":"moet-and-chandon-vintage-2008-by-moet-et-chandon","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\"Vintage production is just 1% of the house, making this cuvée significantly less than 300,000 bottles. Gouez has replaced ‘Moët \u0026amp; Chandon Vintage’ with ‘Vintage by Moët \u0026amp; Chandon’, with labels of bold vintage declaration, to focus more on the style of the season than the house. He is looking for four things in a vintage: sufficient maturity of at least 9.5 degrees potential, no rot, ageing potential from either acidity or phenolic structure, and finally character – something special, not simply the stamp of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e‘The idea is not to follow a recipe, but to listen to the wines and create a vintage with uniqueness and charisma,’ he says. The blend and the selection of parcels change to reflect the character of the season, looking for those that are most interesting and original. ‘We start from scratch. I choose the grapes from anywhere I want, and I don’t care if it’s meunier or if it isn’t grand cru.’ The maturation has also evolved, with Grand Vintage previously released after five years on lees and now after seven, allowing the dosage to be lowered to just 5g\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDisgorgement date, dosage and blend are clearly displayed on the back label – impressive detail for a house of this magnitude. The vivacious 2008 season leads out with fresh, dynamic lemon, apple and pear fruit, defining a style of well focused acid line and tension. It’s ageing slowly and incrementally, upholding a primary freshness and taut acid line that call for time to soften. The biscuity, spicy, honeyed, brioche complexi
