Louis Roederer Cristal 2006 (1.5L)

Louis Roederer Cristal 2006 is a Champagne created at the request of Tsar Alexander II, using fruit from seven great crus on the estate. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir provide its balance. It is yellow-gold with mat and amber tints, with persistent, brilliant, fine and lively bubbles. The bouquet offers citrus compote, candied apricots, honeysuckle, vanilla-edged cocoa bean, toasted hazelnut, liquorice and cinnamon. The palate is structured, energetic and sculpted, with dense, ripe, silky sensations, chalky cherry freshness and a powdered, almost mentholated brightness. The finish is pure and sharp, focused on chalk, energy and grain. It comes in a wooden box.
