2008 Champagne Louis Roederer Cristal Rose

Louis Roederer's Cristal champagne is the extremely exclusive champagne that is only made in the best years. Once specially made for the Russian Tsar's court, now appreciated by enthusiasts worldwide. Unfortunately extremely scarce. The grapes come from 4 plots - two in Aÿ, one in Mesnil and one in Avize - all selected for their ripeness and their ability to develop further. There is a spicy and exotic nose with quite expressive red fruit and a more pinot-driven shape and structure. The palate has very firm phenolics, which will benefit from further ageing. The silkiness is there, especially on the finish. The 2008 Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé is an iconic vintage champagne that excels in complexity and finesse. Made in the exceptional 2008 vintage, this rosé is praised for its fresh acidity, balanced structure and refined flavours. The wine is characterised by aromas of red fruits, such as strawberry and raspberry, combined with subtle notes of toast and a light minerality. It has an alcohol content of around 12%, which makes it an elegant yet powerful champagne, perfect for enjoying now but also suitable for long-term ageing. (2055). The 2008 was awarded the maximum 100/100 points by both Parker and Suckling.
