Louis Roederer
Cristal Brut Champagne Chardonnay Pinot Noir Blend
Champagne, France
#AgedWineTuesday
Celebrating our wedding anniversary, with a Vintage Champagne from the same year.
Light yellow in color with a golden hue.
Strong nose of bread, spices, earth, wet leaves, herbs, yeast, white pepper, lemons, yellow apples and river rocks.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and soft, small bubbles.
Dry on the palate with light citrus, over ripen apples, spices, yeast, bread, river rocks, herbs and white pepper.
Short finish with limes.
This 28 year old Champagne is still delicious, although probably on its last leg.
Showing great complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Soft and elegant.
Not much fruit is left, but enough to make it tangy and interesting.
Thank you Judy for sharing this with us.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with caviar and good friends. Very tasty, especially with the caviar.
12% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$550.

No punt no problem. Big but not insane. More chard than Pinot this vintage. Overcame a less than stellar year

Incredible vintage. Lush and generous. Slightly oxidative in the best way, honeycomb, hazelnut brioche, lemon chiffon cream, hints of tropical fruits, mousse was still fine, great mid palate and never ending length and finish.

A surprising number of bubbles for the age yet the age showing itself and not a lot of life left. There was concern about storage based on the shape of the bottle.

Champagne old enough to drink itself. Stored poorly but still good.
