Vinification: "Cristal" is certainly the most famous wine of the Roederer maison, and this blend certainly does justice to its fame. Made only in "great vintages," when the maturity of the chardonnay (about 45%) and pinot noir (55%) that make it up is perfect, it ages in the cellar for 6 years and rests 8 months after disgorgement. Louis Roederer Brut "Cristal" Champagne is fantastic from start to finish, a behemoth of power put into the engine by the pinot combined with the undeniable elegance of the chardonnay. A Cristal with a concentrated style, dense enough to chew rather than drink, but enlivened by the innate freshness and minerality of the best crus of the Marne. An immense Champagne that we like because it is already heavenly now, but with a few years of maturity behind it could become even divine.

TASTING NOTES.
Appearance: Delicate but fine and persistent perlage
Color: Brilliant straw yellow with slightly amber reflections
Bouquet: The nose presents a very broad and rich bouquet of candied fruit (lemon, orange), white flowers (lily) and freshly roasted dried fruit (hazelnut, almond)
Taste: It is round and firm on the palate, with a juicy and full-bodied yet soft and creamy texture. However, the structure is made well alive by the jaunty, soaring freshness that while leaving the fruit characteristics intact and fades them toward more citrus and floral hints. Benefiting from this is the harmony, which remains perfect even on the close
PAIRINGS: Delicate foods including caviar, fish, shellfish and crustaceans "lobster, lobster, oysters"
FRUITY: Serve at 6/8°C
