The 2016 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut opens with a precise bouquet of white peach, lemon, acacia flowers, and subtle chalky minerality, laced with hints of brioche and roasted citrus.
On the palate, it delivers a soft, immediate attack of ripe, juicy fruits in a sabayon-like texture, with fine, integrated bubbles that evoke saline oyster shell and powdery chocolate notes. This vintage achieves remarkable balance between concentration and finesse, echoing the purity of the legendary 2002 Cristal while showcasing 2016’s chalky depth. Light on its feet yet deeply layered, it lingers with crystalline length and sapid elegance.
Serve chilled in a tulip glass and pair with fresh oysters or caviar.
