Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The 2016 Champagne Cristal is chalky and pristine, with a crystalline nature and notes of white peach, fresh citrus blossoms, and bright salinity. Tasted for the first time last year, it captures a precise and focused energy that’s unmatched. It boasts the energy and tension of 2002 and the precision of 2008. The wet-stone minerality of fresh chalk texture is profound, opening with medium body, showing pinpoint mousse, and sustaining a weightless energy through the long finish. This is not an obvious wine on opening, but it is by far one of my favorite wines of the year. It is going to require some patience, but it is worth stashing away and should have fantastic longevity. Drink 2027-2050.

About the Producer

The Louis Roederer estate is an iconic Champagne house, remaining one of the last great family-owned and independent signatures. A pioneer, the Roederer family invested early on in a vast, estate-owned vineyard, now cultivated with extreme precision in the heart of the Marne’s finest crus. From this remarkable terroir are born champagnes of impressive consistency and a refined, instantly recognizable style. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Chef de Caves, perpetuates this quest for excellence while infusing an innovative dynamic. The Louis Roederer house is distinguished by a prestigious range, whose cuvées embody elegance and complexity. Among the jewels are the Cristal Millésimé Brut and the Cristal Brut Rosé Millésimé, symbols of unparalleled craftsmanship. The Vintage Brut and the Brut Rosé Millésimé complete this offering, alongside more recent creations like the Collection 244 Brut, which testifies to the estate's spirit of innovation. More exclusive, the Coteaux Champenois "Hommage à Camille" reveals a rare parcel-based expression, elevating the diversity of the Champagne terroirs. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Louis Roederer Cristal Millésimé Brut, Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Rosé Millésimé, and Louis Roederer Vintage Brut—useful benchmarks for understanding the house's identity.
