Roederer has a number of superb Champagnes in the market this year. The 2008 Cristal and Cristal Rosé are every bit as thrilling as they have been in previous tastings. The maison is also re-releasing the 2002 Cristal and Cristal Rosé. These are the same exact wines as the first releases. Lastly, the 1996 Cristal Vinothèque and 1996 Cristal Rosé Vinothèque represent the latest in the house’s evolution. The Vinothèque Champagnes are quite different from the first and second releases, as explained in the tasting notes below. When all is said and done, under the direction of Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Roederer is one of the most ambitious and exciting producers in Champagne, big or small.
