Tasting Note

Intense, bright and luminous golden hue. Dynamic effervescence with a continuous stream of fine bubbles. Intense, fragrant bouquet of great purity. Concentrated and candied citrus fruit mingle delicately with notes of grain and lightly roasted almonds. The lovely sensation of big ripe fruit is balanced and lifted by energetic fresh tangy overtones. Fruity palate with a silky texture, complemented by soft bubbles that are perfectly integrated and deliciously elegant. The purity and perfection of the ripe yellow fruit melt into the intense chalky freshness, typical of Cristal, that is both powdery and saline. Dense, juicy, concentrated and long on the mid-palate, thanks to the spicy and sappy structure resulting from partial ageing in large oak vats (foudres) The finish builds to a crescendo, revealing a rich grainy and velvety texture that is wrapped in a long, saline and superbly elegant finish.

Product Notes

Louis Roederer Cristal is a premier champagne brand that has become synonymous with luxury and exclusivity. Founded in 1760, it is one of the oldest and most well-regarded champagne houses in France. Cristal is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, selected from the best vineyards in the Champagne region. The result is a strikingly clear, golden-hued champagne with a fine, persistent mousse. It has a delicate bouquet of citrus fruits, butter, and toast, followed by a complex palate of honey, spices, and ripe fruits. Cristal often ranks among the most highly-rated champagnes in the world and is a must-try for any serious champagne connoisseur.
