Louis Roederer Cristal Rose Champagne vintage 2013 has a light, delicate and soft pink hue, with bright and vibrant, ultra-fine bubbles. It has a refined bouquet showcasing freshly-picked tart red fruits including wild strawberry, raspberry and lemon scented flower petals. The pure and precise fragrances delicately mingle. They gradually develop further with overtones of fresh almonds, bread and spices. On the palate, it's intense, velvety and captivating. The juicy and concentrated red fruit gradually pulls towards a raspberry liqueur character invigorated by sweet citrus aromas. The harmony and delicacy of the wine is reinforced by the creamy bubbles which create the sensation of roundness and concentration. The mineral freshness creates length on the palate.
Background & History:

Champagne Louis Roederer own around 240 hectares of vineyards in the very best locations of the Champagne region. The vineyards cover two-thirds of their grape requirements. They are pioneers in biodynamic farming and have converted half of their holdings to biodynamic production. Cristal is their top end cuvee, and perhaps the world's most recognisable prestige champagnes.
