FRANCE Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Gift Box - 750 ml
Wine Type: Champagnes and Sparkling Wines - Winery: Cristal, Louis Roederer, Roederer - Country of Origin: France - Vintage: 2002
Yellow appearance with burnished gold reflections. Intense nose of white flowers, citrus and red berries, followed by warmer whiffs of toast and wood. On the palate , ripe lush fruits (vine peaches) and toasty flavours. Dense, fleshy structure. Powerful finish. . A racy, crisp style, with apple, wheat beer and lemon notes. This tightens up, though the texture stays refined and silky. Its a bit lean and could use some time to flesh out and gain complexity. Best from 2010 through 2028.
