Roederers 2002 Cristal is a fabulous wine! Originally released in 2009, it was re-released in March this year?and was sold out in a very short time. The Cristal I tasted at Roederer in May 2018 was disgorged in 2010, after seven years sur lie. Its amazing richness and concentration makes it a forerunner of the 2015 and follows the 1999. Only two times?2002 and 2015?the fruit from all 42 plots reserved for Cristal was used for the Cristal. (237, The Wine Advocate 30th Jun 2018)
