Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé Vinotheque With Gift Box 750ml - 2002

The Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé Vinothèque 2002 is a rare and exceptional Champagne that exemplifies the pinnacle of Louis Roederer's craftsmanship. This vintage has undergone an extended aging process, spending 11 years on its lees and an additional 5 years on its "pointes," resulting in a wine of unparalleled depth and complexity.

The 2002 vintage is characterized by its remarkable freshness, finesse, and balance, offering an extraordinary Champagne experience. The Vinothèque release represents a select portion of the Cristal Rosé production, with only a small percentage receiving the extra years of aging before being released.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Lovely, slightly coppery, shimmering rose petal hue.

Nose: Bursting with freshness, offering impressions of a sea breeze and delicately concentrated fragrances of zesty red and citrus fruits.

Palate: Reveals the complexity of great Pinot Noirs from Aÿ, with notes of petals, peonies, cocoa beans, concentrated red fruit liqueur (raspberry), smoky notes, gingerbread, praline, and cedar, accompanied by scents of undergrowth.

Finish: A sensation of great lusciousness and vitality underpinned by a sweet/saline/powdery finish.
