The 1996 Cristal Rose is an intensely-flavored Champagne with an unusually light pale salmon color. Its effervescence is restrained (almost non-existent), but the flavors are intense in this dry, austere, provocative offering. An outrageously great, singularly-styled rose Champagne, it is best served with intensely-flavored food. It is a tour de force in Champagne to enjoy over the next 7-10 years. Louis Roederer does not display a disgorgement date or consumer friendly lot number on its non-vintage Brut. This is regrettable as it has consistently been one of the finer bottlings in this category.

The 1996 Cristal Rosé (Late Disgorged) is just as impressive as it has always been, especially in more recent tastings. A wine that opens up in all directions, the 1996 has no beginning and no end; it is simply magical. The earliest tertiary nuances are just beginning to appear, but the 1996 remains youthful, tense and brilliant. Orange peel, cinnamon, rosewater and cranberries add nuance on the crystalline, salivating finish. In a recent tasting of the reference-point 1996 Champagnes, both Cristal and Cristal Rosé were at the top of the pack. This is another brilliant showing from the Cristal Rosé. This bottle was disgorged about three years after the commercial release as part of Roederer's soon to be launched Late Disgorged program.
