2006 Louis Roederer "Cristal" Brut Champagne

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2006 Louis Roederer "Cristal" Brut Champagne (97DC, 97VN, 96JS, 95IWR, 95JG, 95RP, 95WE, 95WS). Vinous: "The 2006 Cristal is a rich, explosive wine that captures all of the natural radiance of this warm year. Ample and full-bodied, the 2006 is one of the more extroverted recent Cristals. As such, it will drink well now, even though it has more than enough body to drink well for another 20 years or more. This shows real density and tons of character. It’s a big wine. “In retrospect, we might have preferred a lower dosage, but the wine was quite difficult to balance in blending, so we had to go for a higher dosage, ” Lécaillon adds. Dosage is 9 grams per liter. Disgorged: 2014. (AG)" (12/2023)
