Champagne Cristal 2014 Louis Roederer, a luxury icon embellished by the golden box that keeps it! Created from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes aged for 6 years, it is a champagne that delights us with its extreme refinement, its lively bubbles and the sweetness of its perfumes.
Cristal brut is the most loved AOC Champagne since the time of Tsar Alexander II, who asked Louis Roederer to elaborate the best Champagne for him, reserving for him the best cuvee every year. The name "Cristal", not surprisingly, derives from the material with which the special crystal bottle was created, to enhance its exclusivity, transparency and brilliance.
The grapes used to create this precious Cristal 2014 are 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from Verzenay, Verzy, Beaumont-sur-Vesle, Ay, Avize, Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant.
This vintage was splendid for Cristal, fertile, rich and full of sunshine! A perfect balance between maturity and freshness.
The Cristal spends 6 years of maturation on the lees and, after the dégorgement, it remains to rest in the cellar for another 8 months. The dosage is 7 g/l.
Cristal 2014 Louis Roederer has a golden and luminous color. The nose has an intense bouquet with aromas of candied citrus fruits, toasted almonds and ripe fruit balanced by fresh and acidic contrasts. In the mouth it is fruity, with an elegant and perfectly integrated effervescence. A chalky freshness blends with ripe yellow fruits, typical hints of Cristal. Full-bodied and juicy with spicy notes thanks to the aging in oak barrels.
A Champagne for connoisseurs, of extreme elegance and refinement. Subtle and mature, it boasts exceptional balance. Its power, combined with its finesse, allows it to be wonderfully combined with the most delicate and refined dishes.
