Champagne Cristal Blanc Roederer 2015

Colour The colour is of a shining, beautiful golden yellow. The effervescence is lively and of a great finesse. Nose The nose reveals a particularly rich aromatic expression. Concentrated fragrances of yellow fruit (white peach, mirabelle plum), hazelnut and roasted almonds blend harmoniously. With aeration, the bouquet reveals its ideal alliance between the characteristic notes of almond, harvest and sweet pollen, from the Chardonnay, and delicious fruitiness (red and juicy fruits) from the Pinot Noir. Palate Lively with great concentration, the palate opens on a silky touch unveiling scents of preserved citrus fruit and iodised spices. The palate draws out its freshness and precision until the finish which has subtle woody and saline notes, bringing a lovely combination of finesse and concentration.

The year 2015 had a mild and wet winter and a hot and particularly dry summer. The rainy spells recorded in the second half of August saved the vineyard, thus preserving the freshness and concentration of the grapes. The harvest was quantitative and of exceptional quality for this year marking the recognition of the Champagne region as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
