Louis Roederer Cristal 2009 is a vintage, prestige-cuvée Champagne produced from Louis Roederer in Reims, France. The vineyards of Louis Roederer are located in three important Champagne districts. the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs, with 240 hectares situated exclusively in the Grands and Premiers Crus of the Marne. The diversity and fertility of these sites provide Maison Louis Roederer with an extensive and rich palette from which to fashion traditional-method sparkling wines from the three principal Champagne varieties. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The 2009 Cristal is composed of a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay without malolactic fermentation and disgorged with a dosage of 8g/l. "Translucent, shimmering gold indicates a wine of poised ripeness; beautiful scents of orange blossom merge with sense of great chalky terroir. The purity and sublime texture of the mouthfeel owes a lot to non-malolactic winemaking which maintains freshness after the uninterrupted warmth of summer to harvest end. Long lingering finish. A great supremely elegant Champagne." Decanter, 2017
