Louis Roederer Cristal 2016 750 ml

Louis Roederer Cristal 2016 is a prestige cuvée Champagne from the house of Louis Roederer, blended from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown on the estate's own grand and premier cru vineyards, a defining feature of Cristal's production compared to houses that buy grapes from outside growers. The 2016 vintage rests a minimum of six years in the cellar before release, developing the depth and complexity a vintage Champagne of this caliber requires. Expect notes of citrus, white peach, brioche, and toasted nuts with a creamy texture, fine persistent bubbles, and a long, elegant finish. It's one of Champagne's most recognized prestige bottlings, built for special occasions and serious wine collections alike.

How to drink Louis Roederer Cristal 2016

Chill it well and pour into a white wine glass rather than a narrow flute to let the brioche and stone-fruit aromas open up. Serve it on its own for a toast rather than folding it into a cocktail.
