Product Description
The jewel of the House is Cristal, created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II. This champagne is at its finest, as inspired today as it always has been, the embodiment of elegance and purity. Louis Roederer Cristal Cuvee Prestige 2004 is made accordance to the strictest criteria, based on a drastic process of selection applying to the vintage, the cru, the village, the grapes and finally the wines. Only Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from the House's 10 most celebrated crus are used in the production of this legendary cuvee. Blended from 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay grapes and aged for an average of 5 years plus 6 months after disgorging it is yellow green in colour with fleeting glints of gold. It is rich and intensely fruity on the nose with a rounded palate of citrus against a background of red berries followed by a subtle toastiness and notes of almonds. A combination of both freshness and delicacy alongside creamy bubbles it has a finish of exquisite length and crispness. The colour of the 2004 vintage is burnished yellow with gold reflections. On the nose, the wine opens with the youthful intensity of white flowers, citrus and red berries, followed by warmer notes of toast, chocolate and wood. The palate shows a mixture of ripe lush fruits (vine peaches) and toasty aromas with a dense and fleshy structure. The silky texture on the mid-palate culminates in a glorious finish.
