Louis Roederer

This 2015 Cristal from Maison Louis Roederer presents a limestone temperament with great aging potential.

The year 2015 fits perfectly into the continental trend of the decade with a mild and humid winter and hot and dry summer. Ripening, thanks to a cool end to summer, will give rise to juicy, ripe and concentrated grapes, a spectacular vintage.

The Cristal 2015 vintage is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, of which 25% was vinified in wood. Malolactic fermentation was blocked in order to maintain great freshness, tension, and great aging potential. The Cristal 2015 Roederer is dosed at 7 g/L, giving the wine a touch of indulgence.

This champagne is adorned with a deep yellow color, with brilliant sparkles and its effervescence is ultra-fine and dynamic.

On the nose, the bouquet is intense and concentrated in aromas of white peach and mirabelle plum associated with a delicious toasted reduction which takes the form of notes of hazelnuts and toasted almonds.

On the palate, the wine is concentrated, energetic and vibrant. The texture is silky, almost oily, with sweet flavors of candied citrus fruits and iodized spices, then tenses with a pure, precise and chiseled freshness. The finish is salivating, supported by slightly woody, sappy and saline notes which give a simultaneous sensation of delicacy and concentration!
