Champagne Cristal Roederer Brut Rosé 2012 (1.5l)

Champagne Louis Roederer Rosé Crystal 2012 Magnum 1,5L

Champagne

In 1876, Tsar Alexander II, already a great lover of Louis Roederer's cuvées, asked Louis Roederer to "push the exercise even further" to develop, for his personal use, a unique cuvée by its bottle and its quality. Louis Roederer then proposes to make an exceptional white crystal bottle in which he elaborates the best selection of vines of 7 grands crus of his domain. This cuvée, made only in the "big" years when the maturity of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir allow to reach a subtle balance, is the first prestige cuvée of Champagne. Seductive, precise, greedy and with a "tapered" freshness and almost "alive". Its salmon pink color with very bright reflections and incredible youth. Active, fine and regular effervescence. Intense, rich and captivating bouquet of red fruit and citrus zest associated with more complex notes reminiscent of cedar and spring sap. The aromas evolve slowly in the glass passing by a declination of dried fruits, from fresh almond to frangipane, to finish on notes of pie Tatin, baked apple and caramel. Soft and silky on the palate, harmony of flavors and fruit concentration. The attack is fruity and crunchy. Fineness and fruity intertwine
to give a fleshy and melting complex that quickly gives way to candied citrus fruits, dried fruits.
