Louis Roederer Cristal Rose

In 1974 almost 200 years after the establishment of the Champagne House of Louis Roederer and 100 years after the creation of Cristal Jean-Claude Rouzaud decided to create the Cristal Ros cuve. To achieve this he selected old-vine Pinot noir grapes (using massale selection which involves propagation from the vineyards most successful plants) from the finest grand cru vineyards of Ay. This beautiful Champagne has a pink hue with slightly coppery tints. Dynamic bubbles forming a lingering bead. Pure precise and dazzling bouquet. The intense Pinot noir aromas take us back to the harvest time with its pure ripe and concentrated fruit: zesty red berries (red currants wild raspberries blackcurrants) and raspberry liqueur. Then come sweet spice and smoky notes with a hint of reduction (smoky and spicy) from the Pinot noir with its notes of undergrowth.
