About This Champagne
Louis Roederer's flagship vintage Champagne, Cristal 2007 comes from a year of early budburst and a dry finish. It leans a little more to Chardonnay than usual and is now well into its drinking window.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Williams pear, redcurrant and warm pastry, opening to white chocolate, hazelnut and a smoky note.
- Palate: Concentrated and silky, with ripe fruit, fine bubbles and a salty, chalky edge.
- Finish: Precise and lasting, with toast, citrus peel and a light spicy lift.
Serving & Food
Cool it to 8 to 10°C and serve in a tulip glass. The chalky edge works with sushi and sashimi, steamed garoupa with soy, or plain grilled lobster.
Good to Know
What's the blend? 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay, all grand cru.
Is it ready to drink? Yes. It's fine, mineral and ready to open.
