Champagne Brut "Cristal" 2015 - Louis Roederer

2014 was a bright year, in which the fruit and the finesse gave their maximum splendor. A full sun year, the result of a generous and perfectly ripe harvest, Cristal 2014 takes on its complete identity. 2014 gave wines more than ever material, in which the purity of the gypsum, more draining, made it possible to limit climatic risks. Delicate and increasingly environmentally friendly sustainable cultivation techniques have led to a Cristal 2014 that shows us the maximum balance between maturity and freshness. The identity of the Cristal is unique and is part of the history of great champagnes. It is a wine of terroir and depth, turned towards the light, which hovers towards the sky and almost seems to reach it. The Cristal slowly and gradually unfolds as it ages, revealing a different side of itself and its personality each time. Each new vintage reveals the unmistakable character of Cristal, albeit through multiple facets, a kaleidoscope of flavors and textures. With its rich, meaty character and exceptional maturity, Cristal 2014 reveals the inherent purity of its aromas with astonishing ease. The power of the fruit blends into a chalky, consistent and salty freshness, offering an extremely delicate persistence. Cristal 2014 is unashamedly exuberant, with an expressiveness that over time will be able to free its true structure. Reflection of a thousandth, more Cristal than ever, this 2014 delights effortlessly and with frankness. It is a great champagne, full of resources and charm. Fully Cristal, intensely 2014.
