The 2002 Brut Cristal Rosé shows the classic Roederer introspectiveness that can sometimes make the wines hard to grasp when they are young. It, too, is a relatively lightly-colored Rosé. The bouquet is beautifully woven into a fabric of layered, ripe fruit. With some time in the glass, the wine's textural beauty becomes more apparent, but this is a Champagne that needs bottle age. It should be spectacular in time. Cristal Rosé is made with the same technique as the Rosé, which is to say the Pinot is cold-macerated on the skins for 6-7 days, but the percentage of oak is a touch higher. For Cristal Rosé the Pinot is sourced from A? and the percentage of Chardonnay (from Avize and Mesnil) is a touch higher than the Brut Rosé at 40% of the blend. This is Lot L031784L100149, disgorged in April, 2008.
