The Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé 2004 is a stunning example of the renowned craftsmanship of this Champagne house. Produced in the heart of Champagne, France, this vintage showcases the exceptional quality of the 2004 harvest. On the eye, this rosé displays a delicate, pale pink hue with a hint of golden reflections, hinting at the maturity of the wine. The nose is immediately greeted by a bouquet of fresh wild strawberries, followed by notes of toasted bread and a touch of flint. On the palate, this wine offers a perfect balance of elegance and intensity, with flavours of red berries and citrus fruits, complemented by a subtle minerality. The finish is incredibly long, leaving a lingering sensation of creamy bubbles on the palate. This Cristal Rosé is a true masterpiece, representing the pinnacle of luxury and sophistication.

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous
Still a baby, the 2004 Cristal Rosé has begun to put on considerable weight over the last few years, which only serves to balance the focus and tension that have always been present. Even at eleven years of age, the 2004 Cristal Rosé remains tightly wound and a touch austere at times. Hints of orange peel, white pepper and cranberry add an exotic flair on the deeply expressive finish. Readers who can find the 2004 should not hesitate, as it is simply stunning by any measure.

Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate
The 2004 Cristal Rose is 70% Pinot from Ay and 30% Chardonnay from Avize. This remains a very tight, mineral-driven Cristal Rose that will require significant bottle age. A final burst of floral red berries on the finish bodes well for the future. Today I prefer the Cristal over the Cristal Rose, but time will ultimately tell how these wines develop. I recently tasted the 1996s and it is now appears the Rose has moved ahead, if very slightly, from the Cristal. The 2004 Cristal Rose was disgorged in December 2009 and dosage was 9 grams per liter (9/2010)
