Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 2016 (750mL)
Louis Roederer Cristal 2016 stands as a flagship vintage Champagne from one of the world’s most revered houses.

Tasting Notes
Appearance
-
Gleaming, bright yellow hue with magnificent, fine, slow-moving bubbles that signal its finesse and precision.
Nose (Aroma)
-
Intensely aromatic and precise, with vivid notes of acacia blossoms, roasted lemon, ripe peaches, and mirabelle plums.
-
Subtle iodized, powdery, and roasted nuances emerge with air, reflecting extensive lees aging (“sur lattes”) and impressive aromatic development.
Palate & Texture
-
Soft yet delicately vibrant on the palate—imagine a rich zabaglione, offering juicy ripe fruit intertwined with chalky minerality.
-
Bubbles are tactile and integrated, with a saline minerality evocative of oyster shells and crushed stones.
-
Chalky textures and wheat notes echo the late-ripening Chardonnays from the 2016 heatwave vintage.
