Cristal 2014 | Bottle 75cl - Presentation pack

Description

Maison Louis Roederer's Cristal 2014 is a classic blend of maturity and freshness. An elegant, chalky and powerful cuvée.

2014 was a year of contrasts, with a magnificent, very dry spring, followed by a very hot start to summer, before a reversal of the trend with almost autumnal July and August. Fortunately, September saw the return of sunshine and warmth.

Cuvée Cristal 2014 is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. A third of this blend was vinified in wood. Malolactic fermentation was blocked to maintain the freshness characteristic of this vintage. This cuvée is dosed at 7g/l to support a smooth, generous palate.

Cristal 2014 from Roederer boasts a luminous golden color and a light, regular effervescence.

The nose is powerful, with hints of both citrus and dried fruit. On the second nose, fresh, tangy notes add energy and finesse.

On the palate, Cristal 2014 Louis Roederer is characterized by a marriage of purity and intensity. On the mid-palate, we discover pretty fruit notes and always that beautiful texture that evokes silk.

The finish is superb, both intense and vibrant, with a very elegant saline touch.
