Louis Roederer Cristal 2012
Zusammenfassung
Cristal 2012 ist einer jener seltenen Jahrgänge, die sofort als Legende gehandelt werden – ein Champagner, der Kraft und Eleganz, Reife und nervige Frische in perfekter Harmonie vereint. Er zeigt sofort Volumen und eine seidig-cremige Textur, getragen von den reifen Pinot-Noir-Trauben, bleibt aber durch eine messerscharfe, fast salzige Kreide-Mineralität extrem spannungsreich und präzise. Als erster vollständig biodynamisch bewirtschafteter Cristal markiert er einen Meilenstein für das Haus Roederer.
Das Wetter im Jahrgang 2012
2012 war eines der schwierigsten und kompliziertesten Jahre in der Champagne. Nach einem unvorhersehbaren Frühjahr mit Frost und wechselhaftem Wetter folgte ein kontinentaler Spätsommer und Herbst mit viel Sonne und kühlen Nächten. Die niedrigen Erträge durch das unbeständige Wetter kombiniert mit den kontinentalen Bedingungen am Saisonende führten zu ungewöhnlich hohen Reifegraden. Die Trauben erreichten eine seltene Konzentration bei gleichzeitig hervorragender Säurestruktur – ideal für kraftvolle, strukturierte und langlebige Champagner.
Die wichtigsten Daten
- 100 % Grand-Cru Verzenay, Verzy, Beaumonts sur Vesle, Aÿ, Cramant, Avize, Le Menils Sur Oger
- 60 % Pinot Noir, 40 % Chardonnay
- Keine malolaktische Gärung,
- Zu 25 % in Eichenfässern ausgebaut
- Degorgiert 2019
- Dosage 7,5 g/l
Potenzial und Entwicklung
Aktuell dominieren reife Zitrusfrüchte, Steinobst, warme Röstnoten und cremige Textur. Mit weiterer Reife entfalten sich intensivere Brioche-, Haselnuss- und Honignuancen, während die nervige Mineralität zu einer noch feineren, salzigen Eleganz wird. Die Perlage wird zunehmend cremiger und der Abgang länger. Diese kontrollierte Reife mit Spannung zwischen Fülle und Präzision ist typisch für die großen Cristal-Jahrgänge und verspricht ein sehr langes, grandioses Plateau.

So many squeakers!
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1)
I have 3 golden retrievers. They love this toy. While the head came off because they played tug-o-war with it, the rest has held up mostly for 5-6 months. At this point sometimes a squeaker will pop out. There are so many squeakers in this toy! However, they still use it for tug-o-war, I am surprised it has lasted this long. There is only stuffing in the head.

Cute, durable toy.
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1)
It's about as durable as you can expect a stuffed animal to be. I have two new puppies who are still teething and they love these things. I got the Kyjen sheep mat version (it's a square shape, rather than the two rows of squeakers) for the little girl. Both dogs sleep with it in their crate and we take them on trips with us. I've gone so far as to open up the toy and replace the broken squeakers (costs about 5$ for 30 large squeakers).
The rest of the toy is fine. Our german shepherd puppy absolutely loves the rattle that's located in the head of the gator as well. The rattle also helps initially getting the dog engaged with chewing on the toy rather than your clothing or furniture. Then they discover the squeakers and it's endless entertainment and a good distraction for your dogs.
I haven't had any problems with the thin, decorative material that's represent the teeth, claws and back fins. It's a slightly thicker felt that's soft and flimsy. Honestly, I'm not worried about it. Even if they were to eventually chew these off, they're not a choking hazard. Our little guy has thrown up solid pieces of kibble that are larger and harder than this. Seriously now, common.
The eyes are sewn into the head, so there's no risk of pulling them off and swallowing.
I toss these in the washer on a gentle cycle to clean off the slobber and dirt about once every couple weeks and the squeakers are fine, though they sometimes have to dry out to be 100% functional again. It never takes long.
Overall, I love the amount of squeakers just due to the breaking problem with have with single squeaker toys. Once they break, the dog loses interest. Which is also a nice way to train the dogs the difference between the non-squeaking kids toys. The dogs absolutely love this toy and wont sleep without it. When the fabric eventually wears out (not even a slight issue after a few months), I'll be buying another one.

Great Toy, HUGE, small dog loves,
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1)
For the price this is my favorite toy! My 4 lb Chihuahua LOVES this thing. He is smaller than it by a long shot, yet he loves to parade this around, showing how big he is and can handle this huge GATOR. LOL.
Friends come up to the porch, and he runs back to grab his GATOR to bring it up for them to see.
Only thing with these toys - for my dog - we have several of these he loves - he cannot make them squeak. He jumps on them, chews on them, but just doesn't have the power. That being said, think about it, he loves the things, I mean LOVES. Sleeps with them, parades them out, fights with them when he's alone, has a great time - .... Evidently, it's me - I MISS THE SQUEAK! I watch him, and root for him, and every now and then (rare), I hear he got a squeak. Still, he doesn't care! So.... interactive time! I go out and play with him and Mr. GATOR, and I make it squeak, and we all have EXTRA fun.
Note, my little guy is what they call an EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE CHEWER. He chews in his sleep (kidding). He's really a tough chewer. He however, uses these more for wrestling, and attacking, and carrying around and sleeping on, etc. So none of ours have tears in them, though he does attack and chew all of it -
I think these products are super wonderful, and I have to buy several more, like the hide-a-toy ones (beehive, squirrel, etc.) because I know the quality, I know my Chihuahua loves them to pieces - while he hasn't actually been able to render them in pieces! Win-win for us.
You decide what your dog is like. Mine has his snoopy blanket and a huge victory in his mind over this large GATOR - his friend all day long.

Great Toy, But Not Durable
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1)
I bought this toy for my five-month-old American Eskimo dog, and he loved it! My dog isn't a big squeaker fan, but he had so much fun with this toy. He played with it nonstop for about an hour, and it was so fun to see him enjoying his toy. Unfortunately, I had to take it away from him because after a while, he was trying to rip out the ridges that line the alligator's back. He managed to rip out two already and was working on his third. I'm afraid that out of boredom, he will try to tear off the rest of the ridges and then the alligator's teeth and claws. I think that I will have to snip off all of the small pieces before giving this toy to my dog again.
Even though the toy didn't stay intact for longer than 30-45 minutes, I don't regret buying it. It instantly caught my dog's attention and kept it. This is a good toy. It has 16 squeakers and would be a good cuddle toy since it's soft and big. This toy is longer than my dog! It's about 30 inches long!

Holy Smokes, I Need Sound-Blocking Headphones
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: 2X-Large (Pack of 1)
This summer I bought the smaller version of this alligator squeaky toy for my large malamute-mix named Rascal. He's a big BIG puppy with an enormous amount of energy. Squeaky toys drive him crazy and he can't get enough of them. The more squeakers the more hyper he becomes. I started looking for the perfect Christmas present for him and caught sight of this little guy. Couldn't pass him up. 32 squeakers! Rascal would faint with excitement.
This toy is a little longer than 4 feet long- which is about how long my dog is. It's by far the largest toy he's ever gotten. The head has a rattle in it. And the long body has 32 squeakers individually sewn into their own pocket- so even once he has chewed one of the noise-makers out, he still has many more to go. A few of the squeakers came defective, but I suppose that should be expected when so many noisy parts are involved. I don't think he noticed. The enormous amount of racket he made with the rest of them kept him busy enough.
The second I gave him this toy he bounced around like any kid would on Christmas. Excited as heck. He spent a few good hours flinging the toy up in the air, running around the house and yard with it, and just laying around trying to chew each of those noisy things out from the body. He hasn't managed to get any of the squeaker toys out yet- it's been three days of constant play. He spends a few good hours on it each day. The fabric is getting kind of slobber-soaked, but that's presumable with dog toys. His dark black hair also easily sticks to this fabric, so it's beginning to look a lot dirtier than it actually is. But I'm sure he'll destroy it before my inner neat-freak feels the need to clean it.
My biggest concern are the felt teeth and claws on the toy. They can easily be torn off and swallowed by the dog. If you want to eliminate that, prior to giving your dog the toy- just take a pair of scissors and cut them off. I just monitored my pup closely and took away the pieces once he removed them.
Aside from the felt pieces and the fact the toy attracts hair- I think this was by far one of the best investments I've made for my dog. It's huge, keeps him entertained, and makes plenty of noise! I'm debating buying sound-blocking headphones before I purchase another toy like this again. Very noisy! But he loves it to death, and that makes it all worthwhile. Highly recommend!
