Louis Roederer 2016 Brut Cristal Champagne
Crafted from the revered vineyards of Verzenay, Verzy, Beaumont-sur-Vesle, Ay, Avize, Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Cramant, Louis Roederer’s 2016 Cristal Brut Champagne is a stunning expression of precision and elegance. The vintage thrived under a season of contrasts, where a cool, wet spring gave way to a warm, sun-drenched summer, culminating in a harvest of perfectly ripened grapes. Composed of 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay, this Champagne embodies a balance of richness and minerality, seamlessly integrating the sun’s ripeness with the soil’s chalky finesse.
The bouquet is both intense and refined, unfolding layers of white flowers, roasted citrus, and ripe yellow fruits like peach and Mirabelle plum. Time in the glass reveals subtle notes of wheat, oyster shell, and a hint of toasted almond, a testament to its extended aging on the lees. The palate is silky and energetic, offering a luscious, almost zabaglione-like texture with a vibrant tension. Tactile bubbles give way to an exquisite, chalky salinity, while the wine’s crystalline structure leads to a long, lingering finish marked by finesse and depth.
Cristal 2016 is a Champagne of remarkable purity and vibrancy, reminiscent of the iconic 2002, 2008, and 2012 vintages but with an even more precise and concentrated character. With a dosage of 7g/L and no malolactic fermentation, it retains a crisp, refreshing edge that complements its luxurious mouthfeel. Best enjoyed in a fine crystal flute, this Champagne shines on its own or alongside delicate seafood, refined poultry dishes, or caviar, making every sip a moment of pure indulgence.
