Louis Roederer Cristal Champagne Vintage 2015 750ml
DescriptionCristal 2015 represents the latest release from champagne's most legendary prestige cuvée, originally created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II. This vintage showcases a year of perfect conditions in Champagne, resulting in fruit of exceptional quality from Roederer's finest biodynamically-farmed Grand Cru vineyards. The blend maintains Cristal's signature balance of approximately 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, creating a champagne of remarkable power and finesse. Presented in its iconic clear bottle, originally designed to prevent tampering, Cristal has become the ultimate symbol of luxury.
From the first pour, Cristal 2015 demonstrates why it remains at the pinnacle of prestige champagne. The nose is extraordinarily complex yet focused - vibrant citrus and white flowers mingle with notes of fresh brioche, roasted almonds, and a distinctive chalky minerality. The biodynamic farming practices seem to translate into exceptional purity and precision. On the palate, this vintage achieves the perfect balance between power and elegance that defines great Cristal. The texture is simultaneously rich and weightless, with a mousse of supernatural finesse. Flavors unfold in waves - Meyer lemon, white peach, and green apple give way to notes of hazelnut, honey, and sea salt. The finish is eternal, with a mineral intensity that seems to vibrate on the palate. This is champagne at its most refined, a wine that justifies its legendary status with every sip. For the most special occasions, Cristal 2015 offers an unforgettable experience.
