What to Expect

Champagne is specifically a sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France; every other sparkling is simply that, sparkling wine. Made to be aged for a few to many years, in many languages "Champagne" is synonymous with "party". When young, Champagne exhibits the fresh fruit tones of its "cepage", or blend. Usually based on a blend the features either Chardonnay or Pinot Noir as its main ingredient, Champagne's fruit can range from citrusy to orchard fruits and even red berries. The wine gains distinct yeasty notes from its secondary fermentation, the one that adds the fizz, which is typically described as recalling brioche or bread. As it ages Champagne tends to lose its obvious fruit, which is replaced by subtle nutty tones and subdued elements of dried fruits.

1999 Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Brut 6/10/2007. Having had this wine with my friend at our private outdoor party. It really did dazzled both of us. After accidentally spilling first glass on brand new hand made Persian rugs we sipped this wine with great enjoyment - it was a jaw dropping experience: the lemon citrus is very palpable, also peach, apple, almond, then blueberry, blackberry - just whole variety of forest bed. The finish is colossal and it's not quelled by abundance of aggressive bubbles. The persistence is amazing - it stays in mouth well over minute. Aristocratic, immensely read more...

Wonderful mouthfeel, smell, texture: deep, lush, elegant. Apple, hazelnut, wood, toast, citrus, and pale flower. Strong finish but not overpowering.

The Ultimate Champagne for Toasting successes, this luxurious elixir is highly sought after. Cristal's signature bottle clearly shows off the lustrous pale gold appearance of this wine. An intensely floral bouquet fragrant with almonds, hazelnuts and wild flowers is complemented by a touch of acidity to mark a finish of elegant persistence. Light and fresh, this is undoubtedly a Champagne of admirable magnitude with time.
