Louis Roederer Cristal 2014 Champagne is a luminous prestige cuve from France\’s most celebrated Champagne house, showcasing intense golden hues and dynamic effervescence with a continuous stream of fine bubbles. Tasting Notes Appearance Intense, bright and luminous golden hue with dynamic effervescence and a continuous stream of fine bubbles that dance elegantly in the glass. Aroma An intense, fragrant bouquet of great purity greets the nose. Concentrated and candied citrus fruit mingles delicately with notes of grain and lightly roasted almonds. The lovely sensation of big ripe fruit is balanced and lifted by energetic fresh tangy overtones. Palate 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 melts 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 (foudres). The finish builds to a crescendo, revealing a rich grainy and velvety texture that is wrapped in a long, saline and superbly elegant finish. Pairs With This exceptional vintage Champagne pairs beautifully with oysters, lobster thermidor, seared scallops, aged Comt cheese, and delicate white truffle dishes, making it the perfect choice for celebratory occasions and fine dining experiences.
