Champagne Cristal 2008 Magnum Brut Lt. 1.5 – A Vinous Masterpiece of Excellence
Cristal, the jewel of the Maison, came to life in 1876 to satisfy the discerning palates of Tsar Alexander II. By imperial request, Louis Roederer reserves the most extraordinary cuvée each year, giving a special tribute to this exceptional champagne with a flat-bottomed crystal bottle, enhancing transparency and luminosity.
- 2008 Vintage – Freshness and Power Combined: Characterized by a dry but cool summer, the 2008 vintage is positioned as a “continental” excellence charged with power and concentration. The unusually cool summer temperatures impart an incredible freshness, intense and saline, giving a distinctive touch to this extraordinary vintage.
- Elaboration Cristal 2008 – A Perfect Balance: The Cristal cuvée is the pride of Louis Roederer, uniting the Grand Crus of the Montagne de Reims, the Marne Valley and the Côte des Blancs. Matured in bottle for 8 years, followed by at least 8 months of rest after disgorgement, Cristal 2008 reveals a dosage of 8 g/l.
- Tasting Experience – A Sensory Dance: The amber color, with green and orange highlights, prepares for the sensory experience. The finely dynamic effervescence accompanies a complex and intense bouquet of candied citrus, yellow fruits, Williams pear, pollen and toasted almond. The impressive attack is distinguished by a distinctive, almost saline matter, shaped by the coolness of summer temperatures and chalky soils. A tactile, liqueur-like and powerful sensation is revealed in an incredible finish that rests on freshness, giving an inescapable feeling of purity.
- Aged Excellence – 10 Years of Perfection: The exuberance of Cristal 2008 is disciplined by an extraordinarily prolonged bottle aging, with as many as 10 years of refinement. A true exploit that gives this champagne an unparalleled sophistication, ready to deliver unforgettable emotions.
