Champagne Brut Cristal 2009 Louis Roeder

Champagne Cristal Brut is the Maison's most famous label and one of the best known by fans.

Still today it is produced only in the best vintages, when the chardonnay and pinot noir grapes reach levels of absolute excellence. The bottles rest on the lees for at least six years before the dégorgement and are refined for another 8 months in the cellars of the Maison before being sold. In the glass it reveals all its refined elegance, with fresh citrus notes, white fruit, candied peel and toasted dried fruit. The attack on the palate is harmonious and creamy, of great expressive richness, but always supported by lively acidity and pleasant mineral sapidity.
Champagne Extra Brut Avize Champ Caïn 2005 Jacquesson
(100% chardonnay)
The Extra Brut Avize Champ Caïn is a Champagne that expresses the pure and authentic taste of the terroir.
It is part of the prestigious Jacquesson collection of the "Lieux.Dits", or 4 locations chosen by virtue of the extraordinary quality of the grapes, to be vinified separately exclusively in the best vintages. An elite Champagne, produced only in a thousand bottles. The grapes come, in fact, from the small Champ Caïn parcel of just over one hectare, perfectly exposed to the south and located in the famous municipality of Avize. After vinification, the chardonnay ages in oak barriques, where it performs malolactic fermentation. The next stop on the lees lasts for 9 years. The color is golden, with very fine and persistent perlage. The olfactory profile is intense and elegant, with ripe notes of peach, yellow fruit, honey and pastry. On the palate it releases all its elegant aromatic power, rich, complex and persistent, to then close with a refreshing citrus acidity.
