Louis Roederer Brut Cristal 2015 is known for being one of the most prestigious sparkling wines. Created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia, this champagne is only made in the best vintages from grapes of the most exceptional vineyards of the Maison. The 2015 vintage benefited from a warm, dry summer, granting the grapes extraordinary ripeness. It consists of a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from Grand Cru parcels, with part of the wine fermented in wood. No malolactic fermentation occurs, preserving its aging potential. Aromas of white peach, mirabelle plum, and candied citrus notes combine with roasted hazelnut and almond. On the palate, it stands out for being deep and silky, with a fine bubble and vibrant acidity. It's perfect for pairing with caviar, oysters, lobster, and fine dining, or simply to be enjoyed on its own.
