Louis Roederer's Cristal 2012 is a brut white blend Champagne consisting of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, 32% vinified in oak casks.
Nose: "It has rich and complex aromas with notes of zesty and candied fruit (lemon) mingled with pollen (white flowers), roasted hazelnut and Madagascar vanilla. After aeration, the bouquet develops rich notes of fresh pastries and smoky notes from bottle ageing."
Palate: "It has a delicious, concentrated and chalky palate. It shows incredible tension and perfectly honed aromatic precision. The attack is powerful, distinctive and concentrated and reveals a silky, mouth-coating texture, characteristic of the ripe pinot noirs from the 2012 vintage."
