Louis Roederer Cristal 2008 Vintage Champagne 75cl

Description

Wine Brand & Type: Louis Roederer Cristal 2008 Vintage Champagne 75cl
Description: Cristal is the flagship cuvée from Louis Roederer. Created in 1876, it is composed of Grands Crus from the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs.

Louis Roederer Cristal 2008 Vintage Champagne 75cl holds rich and complex aromas of zesty and candied fruit mingled with pollen, roasted hazelnut and Madagascan vanilla.
2008 was a great year for the ripening of both Pinot Noir (60%) and Chardonnay (40%) grapes due to a glorious summer of sunshine and very little rainfall, resulting in wines that are elegant and fresh – characteristics of a classic vintage.

Tasting notes
A delicious, concentrated and chalky palate. It shows incredible tension and perfectly honed aromatic precision. The attack is powerful, distinctive and concentrated and reveals a silky, mouth-coating texture, characteristic of the ripe Pinot noirs from the 2008 vintage.
