Description
Louis Roederer Cristal is the House’s flagship cuvée, created in 1876 at the request of Tsar Alexander II. It comes from Grand Cru plots across Champagne’s three principal vineyard areas and is produced only in vintages considered exceptional. The 2016 blend combines 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay, bringing together the ripe, silky fruit of Pinot Noir with the chalky, saline tension of Chardonnay.
Thirty-one percent of the wines are vinified in oak and no malolactic fermentation is carried out. Final dosage is 7 g/l. The nose shows white flowers, roasted lemon, peach and mirabelle plum, followed by iodised and toasted nuances. The palate is delicate yet concentrated, with exceptionally fine bubbles, a silky texture and a very long, chalky, saline and crystalline finish.
