Cristal Brut Millesime' - Champagne De Louis Roederer 2016

Louis Roederer's Cristal Brut Millésimé is one of the most prestigious and sought-after champagnes in the world, born from the need to create an exceptional champagne for the Tsars of Russia in 1876. Since then, Cristal has become synonymous with excellence and luxury in the champagne scene , representing the maximum expression of Louis Roederer's savoir-faire and heritage.

Produced only in the best vintages, this champagne is a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, coming from the best crus of the Maison. The meticulous attention in the selection of the grapes, together with a long maturation in the cellar, which exceeds 6 years, followed by a further 8 months after disgorgement, gives Cristal its extraordinary complexity, elegance and aging capacity.

In appearance, Cristal Brut Millésimé has a bright golden yellow color, embellished with a fine and persistent perlage, a distinctive sign of its high quality. On the nose, it offers an intense and multi-layered bouquet, with notes of white pulp fruit, ripe citrus, fresh almond and subtle touches of brioche and honey, which evolve wonderfully in the glass.

In the mouth, the champagne reveals itself to be rich and powerful, but at the same time endowed with surprising freshness and finesse. The fruit flavors are balanced by vibrant acidity and saline minerality, leading to a long and memorable finish, with an aftertaste that recalls the purity and complexity perceived on the nose.

Cristal Brut Millésimé is a champagne that lends itself beautifully to special occasions, capable of elevating any moment to a unique experience. It is perfect as a luxury aperitif or paired with refined dishes, such as oysters, fish tartare or dishes based on white meat and mushrooms.

Each bottle of Cristal is presented in its iconic clear glass bottle, originally chosen to satisfy the Tsar's desire to ensure the absence of defects. Today, this packaging not only maintains the characteristics of champagne unaltered but has also become a symbol of prestige and immediate recognition throughout the world.

Louis Roederer's Cristal Brut Millésimé is, therefore, more than a champagne: it is an emblem of history, art and oenological perfection, which continues to seduce and fascinate wine lovers and collectors of every generation.
