Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Champagne 2013/2014

Introducing Louis Roederer Cristal Millesime Brut Champagne, a beacon of luxury and a testament to the art of champagne-making. Born from the historic vineyards of Louis Roederer, this champagne is not just a drink, but an experience that embodies the pinnacle of elegance and sophistication.

Origin: The story of Cristal began in 1876 when Tsar Alexander II requested a champagne like no other—a wine of unparalleled richness and clarity. Louis Roederer responded with 'Cristal', a champagne that was clear, luminous, and of exceptional quality, presented in a flat-bottomed, transparent lead-crystal bottle.

Vineyards: Sourced from the finest Grand Cru vineyards, the grapes for Cristal are meticulously selected from the most exceptional chalky terroirs. These vineyards are cultivated with a profound respect for nature, ensuring the purest expression of the terroir.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: A radiant gold with subtle amber nuances, accompanied by an ultra-fine, persistent effervescence.
• Nose: A bouquet of white fruit, citrus, and berries, intertwined with notes of toasted almonds, hazelnuts, and sweet pastries. A hint of white flowers and a touch of smokiness add to its complexity.
• Palate: Silky textures introduce a harmonious blend of ripe fruits, complemented by a delicate acidity. The wine's depth and concentration are balanced by its precision and purity, leading to a long, textured finish.

Aging Potential: While Cristal can be enjoyed in its youth, its true character and depth emerge after several years of aging, revealing more complex, toasted notes and gaining in length and finesse.
