Champagne Cristal de Roederer 2014 75 cl

Description

This Cristal Roederer champagne is made from 60% Pinot Noir - 40% Chardonnay

35% of the wines are vinified in wood (oak casks) with weekly stirring. Intense and delicate wine. It reveals a precise and pure combination of notes of concentrated and candied citrus fruits, notes of freshly harvested grain, and toasted almonds. The mouth is fruity and full, it evokes fruits with white flesh. Another superb example of THE great cuvée of Louis Roederer champagnes.

In 1876, Tsar Alexander II, already a great fan of Louis Roederer's cuvées, asked Louis Roederer to "push the exercise even further" to develop, for his personal use, a cuvée unique in terms of its bottle and its quality. Louis Roederer then offers to make an exceptional white crystal bottle in which he elaborates the best selection of vines from 7 grands crus of his estate. This cuvée, only produced in the "great" years where the maturity of the Chardonnay and the Pinot Noir make it possible to achieve a subtle, precise balance, is the first prestige cuvée of Champagne.
