2016 Champagne Louis Roederer, Cristal, Brut

Louis Roederer’s Cristal range have always had legendary status; no surprise, given that the first vintage was created in the 19th century for a Russian Tsar. The winemaking team have compared the 2016 vintage to the legendary 2008: it has incredibly similar precision and purity, with a palate brimming with white flower notes, tangy fresh fruit flavours, and intricate aromas of pastry crust and hazelnuts.
