Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Brut

Tasting note: Rich, complex bouquet with aromas of sour and candied fruits (lemons), citrus nuances, pollen (white flowers), roasted hazelnuts, and Madagascar vanilla. When exposed to air, the bouquet reveals sweet notes of pastry and smoky hints resulting from bottle aging. On the palate, it is very flavorful, concentrated, and chalky. An incredible tension and aromatic precision, a perfectly chiseled wine. A powerful, elegant, and concentrated start with a velvety, enveloping texture, typical of the ripe Pinot Noirs from 2012.
