3 Timeless Champagnes Not To Be Missed!
Champagne has always been associated with celebration, luxury and indulgence. And when it comes to the finest champagnes, there are few that can compare to the exceptional quality of Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé 2008, Dom Perignon 2002, and Krug 2004 – that we are thrilled to offer today! These three legends are not just highly scored by some of the most respected critics in the wine world, but they are also widely recognised for their exceptional quality and ability to age gracefully.
Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé 2008 is a true masterpiece from one of Champagne’s most important houses, made from a careful selection of only the finest grapes from the best plots. William Kelley awarded it with 100 points and declared that is it “the finest wines produced by any of Champagne’s important houses in the last two or three decades.”
Dom Perignon 2002 is another outstanding champagne that has been praised for its opulence and vibrancy and continues to captivate wine enthusiasts with its captivating aromas and flavors. Antonio Galloni loved it, gave 98 lovely points, and said “I had never tasted anything like it. […] Today, what strikes me most about the 2002 is its timelessness.”
Finally, Krug 2004 is a magical bottle that showcases the best qualities of the year, and is considered by many such as Antonio Galloni as the best Krug vintage since 1996. The latter critic gave 97+ points and stated that “readers who can find it should not hesitate, as it is a magical bottle.”

Louis Roederer Cristal Rose 2008
20 cases (3x75cl) OC @ $3,480 (inc GST $3,758.40) per case
“The finest rendition of this cuvée that Lécaillon has produced to date—and, indeed, one of the finest wines produced by any of Champagne’s important houses in the last two or three decades—is the 2008 Cristal Rosé, a brilliant wine that derives from a mere four of the 45 plots that are candidates for inclusion in Cristal: two blocks of Pinot Noir from Aÿ, one of Chardonnay from Mesnil and another from Avize, and I suspect that its origin in the crème de la crème of Roederer’s Cristal-worthy holdings has even more to do with the extra dimension it possesses above and beyond its white counterpart than the delicate infusion of Pinot Noir phenolics that give it its delicate pink hue. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of wild strawberries, tangerine, warm pastry and crisp green orchard fruit, the 2008 is medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a racy but beautifully integrated spine of acidity, a multidimensional core and a searingly chalky and laser-focused finish. Impeccably balanced and harmonious, this superb wine represents one of the qualitative peaks of this great vintage. It will be seven or eight years until it truly starts to blossom, but its benchmark quality is already glaringly apparent.”

Dom Perignon 2002
5 cases (6x75cl) OC @ $2,380 (inc GST $2,570.40) per case
“I remember the first time I tasted the 2002 Dom Pérignon with then-Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy at Hautvillers. It was the upcoming release at the time. As was his custom, Geoffroy served the 2002 in a flight that included a number of previous releases. The bouquet was immediately stunning for its audacity. I had never tasted anything like it. Two thousand-two was a year marked by extreme ripeness in the Chardonnays, and that opulence has always been a big part of the wine’s profile. Today, what strikes me most about the 2002 is its timelessness. That youthful opulence remains, yet the 2002 is still vibrant, almost shocking in its freshness. Apricot, ripe peach, tangerine oil, butter and dried flowers all build towards a captivating crescendo of aromas and flavors that saturates the finish. Readers can look forward to another two decades of exceptional drinking.”

Krug 2004
4 cases (6x75cl) OC @ $3,150 (inc GST $3,402) per case
“Krug’s 2004 Vintage is absolutely mesmerizing. Layers of bright, chiseled fruit open up effortlessly as the wine fleshes out with time in the glass. Persistent and beautifully focused, with a translucent sense of energy, the 2004 captures all the best qualities of the year. Moreover, the 2004 is clearly superior to the consistently underwhelming 2002 and the best Krug Vintage since 1996. Readers who can find it should not hesitate, as it is a magical bottle.”
