Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Champagne 2012 Magnum

Champagne Cristal is a legend in wine history, a creation born in 1876 to satisfy the discerning palate of Tsar Alexander II. Maison Louis Roederer reserved the best cuvée for him each year, a gesture that confirmed the magnificence of this extraordinary champagne. Cristal is distinguished not only by its unparalleled taste but also by its elegant presentation: a crystal bottle specially created to enhance its transparency and luminosity.

• 2012 vintage: The 2012 vintage was one of the most difficult and delicate ever faced in Champagne. However, as is often the case, great challenges lead to epic results. Despite adverse weather and late-season continental conditions, low yields allowed for rare ripeness, resulting in rich, full-bodied and structured wines worthy of Champagne’s greatest vintages.
• Composition and Processing: Champagne Cristal is a prestigious cuvée that brings together some of the region’s best Grand Crus, including Montagne de Reims, Marne Valley and Côte des Blancs. With a composition of 40% Chardonnay and 60% Pinot Noir, this creation embodies the excellence and craftsmanship of the Maison Louis Roederer.
• Tasting: The Cristal 2012 Magnum has a shimmering golden yellow color, while its effervescence is extremely lively and dynamic. The nose opens with complex aromas of tart and candied fruit, accompanied by notes of citrus, pollen, toasted hazelnut and Madagascar vanilla. In the mouth, it proves powerful, fine and concentrated, with an enveloping structure typical of 2012 Pinot Noirs. The finish is long, concentrated and of rare intensity, confirming the greatness of this Champagne.

Champagne Cristal 2012 Magnum Brut Lt. 1.5 is an extraordinary sensory experience that celebrates the magnificence and elegance of Champagne wine.
