Louis Roederer : Cristal Rosé 2007

The Louis Roederer Cristal Rose 2007 is defined by its precision and elegance. It benefited from six years of aging and an additional eight months after disgorgement. It throws a rose gold hue, deepened with green and brown tones. The first sip reveals a slight salinity overlaid with qualities of dried flowers, baking spices; and blood orange zest. Its aromas are lively and energetic, but softened and rounded out by notes of lightly toasted almonds. This champagne from Louis Roederer offers concentrated fruit and a weighty, slightly viscous texture. Its persistent, lingering freshness is highlighted by just the right amount of sweetness.
