Louis Roederer - Cristal Rosé Brut Champagne (Millésimé) 2008 (750ml) FaraCritical Acclaim 100 points John Gilman Like the 2008 Cristal, the 2008 Cristal Ros is the finest young vintage of this cuve that I have ever tasted. The vineyards used for this cuve have been farmed entirely biodynamic since the 2007 vintage and the wine was finished with a dosage in 08 of 7. 5 grams per liter.
