Louis Roederer Cristal 2004
- From historic vines located on the finest Champagne Grand Cru terroir.
- From a very bright, crisp vintage - this wine is only produced in the 'great' years when the ripeness of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir enables a subtle, precise balance.
- Incisive, seductive and delicious - a 'slender' almost 'living' freshness.
Discover pure luxury in this refined, creamy, lemon-scented vintage of one of the world's most popular Prestige Cuvee. Cristal is the sort of Champagne that is often bought but not necessarily appreciated to the full. This vintage is very crisp, very bright and very clean, with the beginnings of a toasty brioche character beginning to make its presence felt, along with some deliciously creamy, attractive notes on the finish. The hallmarks of Cristal are evident: purity, precision and harmony of flavours.
Summary
Winemaker: Jean-Louis Riou
Winery: Louis Roederer
Country: France
In 1876, Tsar Alexander II was already a great fan of Louis Roederer's Champagne, but he asked Louis Roederer to "go one step further" and produce, for his own personal consumption, a wine unique in quality and bottle. Louis Roederer offered to create an exceptional white crystal bottle to house the best selection from the 7 finest vineyards of his estate, thus creating the first Prestige Cuvee of Champagne.
Incisive, seductive and delicious - a 'slender' almost 'living' freshness. Highly contemporary in its harmony and immediate seductiveness, it nevertheless remains first and foremost a great classic of Northern Champagne, combining freshness, energy and an almost chalky mineral quality. The Cristal hallmarks are evident: purity, precision and the unique harmony of flavours associated with the subtle power of historic vines, located on the finest Champagne Grand Cru terroir.

nice, but you do need to lay it down to fully enjoy this, which i did not. It was tempting me too much! great for a very special occasion.
For a special occasion, this is a real winner. If it were a lot cheaper it would be had more often on my house.
Pleasent, but for the price tag it should be
memorable.
