A dazzling, vibrant Champagne, the 2014 impresses with a stunning combination of fruit density and linear energy that brings to mind a hypothetical blend of 2012 and 2008. At times, the bubbles feel totally wrapped up in waves of creamy, resonant fruit to the point the mousse is barely perceptible, especially with aeration. The flavors are bright and finely sculpted, leaning very much into the citrus, floral and mineral end of the spectrum.

Sleek acidity continues through to the finish, with additional racy character provided by a streak of minerally saline and chalk, which gains momentum through the midpalate and rings out on the well-cut, lasting finish. *Collectible* (AN)\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.klwines.com\/images\/InnerQuote.gif\" alt=\"Inner quote mark\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/www.klwines.com\/images\/InnerQuote.gif\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(6\/2022)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SGWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44235981553896,"sku":"","price":429.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/4901\/8807\/products\/2008-Louis-Roederer-Cristal-Brut-750-ml_1.png?v=1674282305","url":"https:\/\/shop.claytonwinehouse.com\/products\/2014-louis-roederer-cristal","provider":"Clayton Winehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
