    Overview

    Louis Roederer Cristal Vinothèque 2000


    Introduction:
    Cristal Vinothèque 2000 celebrates the remarkable adventure of just a small number of bottles, laid down for 20 years in the Louis Roederer cellars, in the quest for perfect balance. 

    This cuvée was aged for 11 years "sur lattes" (stored horizontally) followed by 5 years "sur pointes" (upside down, vertical position) and benefitted from a further 4 years of rest after disgorgement. 

    Tasting Notes:
    Warm yellow hue with a deep core. Beautifully formed threads of bright, lively and ultra-fine bubbles.

    The nose offers up juicy, crunchy notes of yellow fruit, toasted hazelnuts, honey, almonds and nougat. The restraint and delicacy of its aromas prevail, this Cristal needs to be understood in order to fully appreciate its nuances,

    The texture caresses the palate in gentle waves. The bubbles blend harmoniously into the wine's fabric and discreetly complement its everlasting, chalky freshness. This is a wine that is both generous and ripe yet remarkably restrained. The extraordinary finish is characterised by a powdery, saline freshness which gives it a light, ethereal and silky structure. Perfection 

    Vintage 2000:
    2000 was a chaotic, difficult and very rainy year. A succession of storms were accompanied by destructive hailstorms, the worst of which was in the Montagne de Reims on 2 July. Summer saw oceanic weather conditions and gave rise to a very classic style of wine: smooth, lush, elegant and precise. These seductive and discreetly powerful wines show the beauty of the Chardonnay varietal at its finest.

    Winemaking:
    Pinot Noir 58%, Chardonnay 42% 

    24% of the wines vinified in oak.
    No Malolactic Fermentation

    Dosage: 8 g/l
