Louis Roederer Cristal 2014

Region: France, Champagne 

Type: Champagne (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay)

ABV: 12%

Description: This vivid Champagne shows up front and linear definition, thanks to rapier like acidity, with finely meshed flavours of ripe black cherry, mandarin orange fruit, raw almond, anise, cardamom spice as well as a touch of honeycomb, which all unfurl and expand on the fine, creamy palate. Additional racy character provided by sleek acidity continues through with a streak of mineral saline and chalk giving momentum to the mid palate and laying out a well cut, long lasting finish.
