Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Brut 2013 75cl Please note this listing is now for 2013 Vintage Cristal is the flagship cuv e from Louis Roederer. Created in 1876, it is composed of Grands Crus from the Montagne de Reims, the Vall e de la Marne and the C te des Blancs. Golden yellow in colour with glistening gold tints. Incredibly dynamic effervescence, so lively you can almost hear it! Rich and complex aromas with notes of zesty and candied fruit (lemon) mingled with pollen (white flowers), roasted hazelnut and Madagascar vanilla. After aeration, the bouquet develops rich notes of fresh pastries and smoky notes from bottle ageing. A delicious, concentrated and chalky palate. It shows incredible tension and perfectly honed aromatic precision. The attack is powerful, distinctive and concentrated and reveals a silky, mouth-coating texture, characteristic of the ripe Pinot noirs from the 2012 vintage. A deep and vinous wine, bright and noble, a true Cristal. It is balanced by a chalky freshness that cuts through and stretches the wine giving it with a slender fuselage and great finesse. The finish is long and remarkably concentrated. Alcohol is not for sale to people under the age of 18. For the facts about alcohol visit drinkaware.co.uk. A signature will be required on delivery.
