The 2009 Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé is a distinguished Champagne blend from France's Champagne region, noted for its elegance and aging potential. Made by the renowned producer Louis Roederer, this rosé Champagne comes with a modest alcohol content of 12.0% and is sealed with a traditional cork closure.

Critics have lauded the 2009 vintage for its rich and complex profile. Wine Enthusiast awarded it a score of 95, describing it as "still young but already impressive." This review highlights the wine's dry and perfumed nature, emphasizing the presence of red fruit, zesty blood orange, and ripe apple flavors. The review suggests that while the wine can be enjoyed now, it has the structure to age well, recommending consumption starting in 2019.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave the wine an even higher score of 96, with Stephan Reinhardt calling it a "rich and intense expression" of Cristal. He praises its luscious fruit, attributed to the 55% old-vines Pinot Noir from Aÿ’s calcareous clay soils and the sunny vintage, describing the texture as "velvety, caressing and powdery-chalky." Reinhardt notes the wine's remarkable purity, finesse, and tension, comparing it to the enchanting style of Vosne-Romannée. He also highlights its "laser beam" precision on the palate, with an elegant and intensely fruity finish.

Overall, the 2009 Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé stands out as a wine of great depth and potential. Its complex flavors and textural finesse make it a noteworthy choice for both immediate enjoyment and further aging, reflecting the craftsmanship of Louis Roederer and the unique characteristics of the 2009 vintage.
