Louis Roederer - Cristal - 2004 - Brut Vintage Champagne - 75cl - 12% ABV

In 1876, Tsar Alexander II was already a great fan of Louis Roederers champagne and he asked Louis Roederer to 'go one step further' and produce, for his own personal consumption, a unique wine in quality and bottle. Louis Roederer offered to create an exceptional white crystal bottle to house the best selection from the 7 finest vineyards of his estate. This wine was only produced in the years when the ripeness of the Chardonnay and Pinot noir enabled a subtle, precise balance. The wine is the regions most prestigious. An intense, delicate wine that combines cocoa, sugared flowers, finely toasted hazelnuts and citrus fruits. A silky and flavoursome texture with explosions of fruit, chocolate and caramel.
