1974 Louis Roederer "Cristal" Brut Champagne
98
Vinous
Review Date: 06/2017One of the most extraordinary wines in this vertical, the 1974 Cristal exudes class and balance. It is yet another wine that has aged beautifully. Nothing is out of place. Deep, rich and voluptuous in the glass, the 1974 is explosive and intense, with a level of pure pedigree that is impossible to miss. Even after all these years, the 1974 is powerful, dense and super-concentrated, much like the 1976, but with more freshness and none of the heaviness found in that wine. Tasting the 1974, it is hard to believe that rain and rot were both challenges during harvest. Cristal seems to have come through just fine. (AG)
