2015 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut (Gift Boxed)
98 points & Top 100 Wines of 2023 - James Halliday (The Weekend Australian)
The winter was wet and cold, summer record-breaking hot – and rain in August saved the vintage. The usual 60/40% pinot noir chardonnay split, 25% fermented in oak, disgorged in November 2022, the dosage 7g/l. A contrast of freshness and richness, the fruit concentrated and complex. Eternal life.

Cristal fans will love this as it is, but a year or two more in the bottle will do a lot for the very long mineral finish of this youthful masterpiece.
97 points & Top 100 Wines of 2024 - Nick Ryan (The Australian)
There are few Champagne houses over the last decade that have performed as strongly as Roederer. What was always great is now truly exceptional. And in tricky vintages like 2015, meticulous work in the vineyards and serious skill in the cellar come to the fore. This is an imperious Cristal, a cathedral contained in glass, a wine of the kind of beauty and power that haunts dreams.
