Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 2015 Vintage is the vintage Cristal from a top Champagne house, built for precision and elegance. It shows a fine, persistent mousse and a pale-gold hue. Aromas blend citrus zest, white peach, pear, and almond with brioche and chalky mineral notes. On the palate, expect taut fruit, bright acidity, and a creamy, yet restrained texture, finishing long and mineral-driven. A refined choice for celebrations or pairing with seafood and shellfish; best served well chilled now or aged to develop further complexity.
