Louis Roederer Cristal 2012

Taste Profile: 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. The finish builds to a crescendo, revealing a rich grainy and velvety texture that is wrapped in a long, saline and superbly elegant finish.

Grape: 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay

Serving Tips: For Cristal and its famous transparent bottle, we recommend the bottle be kept in the tinted cellophane wrapper until the very last minute to protect the wine from the damaging effects of natural and artificial light.
