Champagne Roederer Cristal...
CRISTAL 2014<br /><br />A three-step climatic waltz with strong, sharp and decisive contrasts! A splendid, dry spring leading into a torrid June; a cool, rainy autumn summer; a warm, sunny and very<br />dry September... worthy of an August. The 'key' to this vintage lies in the soil and the work of the vine-growers: the chalk, which is rewarding because it drains better, in the<br />medium-low part of the hillside, has made it possible to eliminate the excess water of the summer and limit stagnation... our increasingly virtuous vine-growing practices are<br />fundamental, allowing us to go further in the search for balance in the grapes and ripening.<br />'Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon<br /><br />Golden, luminous and brilliant. Dynamic effervescence followed by an intense, perfumed bouquet of great purity. Citrus fruits and candied fruit combine with notes of harvest<br />and roasted almonds.<br />On the palate, the silky texture is amplified by a delicate effervescen perfectly integrated and deliciously elegant.<br />The purity and perfection of the ripe yellow fruits blend to the intense chalky freshness, typical of Cristal, palpable and savoury at the same time. Full-bodied and juicy on the<br />palate, defined and spiced by the partial ageing period in oak barrels.<br />Persistent and salacious in the finish.<br />
