The 2007 vintage of Louis Roederer Cristal Brut has a high percentage of Chardonnay in the blend, adding complexity and elegance to the wine. The 2007 growing season was hot and dry, making for smaller grapes with concentrated flavours. This Champagne was then aged for over nine years before release, resulting in developed flavours of toast, citrus, and honeysuckle. Its creamy texture is balanced by a distinct mineral note and a refreshing acidity. All of these elements come together in a beautiful harmony, making this Champagne truly stand out among its peers. From its careful selection of grapes to its extended aging process, it’s clear that extra attention has been paid at every step in creating this luxurious bottle of bubbly. It certainly lives up to the prestige of being one of the world’s most famous Champagnes.
