Louis Roederer Cristal Blanc Vinothèque 2004 - Champagne, France

While Cristal is renowned around the world, few are aware of its ageing potential, which is why Louis Roederer ceremonially preserves bottles in its cellar, submitting them to the influence of time. The 2004 vintage has been aged for 20 years; its tactile feel and dry mid-palate contrast against chalky freshness and a complex flavour. The effect is mouth-watering and rich, making this the perfect gastronomical pairing. About Louis Roederer Founded in 1776, Louis Roederer has spent seven generations perfecting crystal-like Champagne. From 250 hectares of Grand and Premier Cru vineyards to hand-harvesting and delicate pressing, every detail honours terroir and tradition, resulting in cuvées of silken texture and rare, exquisite balance.
