Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 2015
A monumental Champagne for charisma and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates the opulence of ripe fruit with woody and mineral notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the strength of Pinot Noir and the verticality of Chardonnay. A display of style that represents the pinnacle of artisanal winemaking.
Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 2015
The 2015 Cristal by Louis Roederer is a monumental work that marks a turning point in the history of the Maison: it is indeed the first vintage produced from an entirely continental and sunny year in which all the plots destined for Cristal were cultivated biodynamically. This allowed for a wine where the material concentration of 2015 is balanced by an almost electric mineral vibrancy. On the nose, it is a concerto of rare elegance: clear notes of candied yellow fruits, lemon peel, and white flowers blend with deep hints of tonka bean, toasted almond, toasted bread, and a mineral streak recalling chalk dust and flint. On the palate, it is sumptuous and three-dimensional; the entrance is broad, dominated by dense and velvety texture that stretches toward a savory, infinite finish with an endless aromatic persistence, characterized by an aristocratic balsamic freshness.
