Louis Roederer Cristal 2006

Type: Sparkling Wine.

Grape: 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay.

Colour:

This champagne showcases a glimmering colour, with slightly amber highlights. The muffled and regular effervescence suggests a high quality and beautiful maturity.

Nose: 

On the nose, this Louis Roederer Cristal 2006 is intense and rich. Notes of candied fruit (orange, lemon) and white flowers (lily) blend with fragrances of lightly toasted dried fruit (hazelnut, almond).

Palate:

Ample and complex, the palate is seduced by this wine’s incredibly concentrated texture, its fruity depth and its utterly pure freshness. A deliciously delicate and light balance. Ripeness and sweetness are sustained by freshness and minerality. The impression of a harmonious whole dominates with these perfectly-integrated and precise aromas.

Description: Familiarity and professionalism come together in this firm. Winegrowers for generations, sparkling winemakers since the ’80s, they have been able to grow larger without losing sight of their origins. The relationship with nature and its products has given them a wealth of knowledge accumulated through the years.
At the foot of the Prealpi Trevigiane, where the hills dive into the waters of the Piave River, the small village of Saccol of Valdobbiadene emerges from the well-cared vineyards. This is where we have our land, caressed by the wind and bathed in sunshine, and it is from here that we get our grapes. At the first signs of autumn, when the grapes have reached maturity, we begin to harvest them. This is an intense and febrile period, because we want to reach “perfection”. Tradition, technology and knowledge find their proper application in the Prosecco of Valdobbiadene making. Respect for the raw materials and the speed of the technological processes lead to the creation of a delicate and elegant wine.

Surrounded by its vineyards, the winery harmonizes perfectly with the countryside around it. Newly built, it allows us to make the different kinds of wines from all our grapes, guaranteeing quality and an authentic typicalness by means of the high technology involved. This is the heart of the estate, and as such throbs with the life which animates it.

Guests are welcomed into it with the natural cordiality of the people of the area. They immediately feel at their ease by the simple beauty of the building. And if curiosity makes them visit the part of the vinery where the Prosecco of Valdobbiadene is actually produced, they will discover the love and care with which it is made, a process which is improved by the functionality and efficiency of the structure.

Pairing: Lower pH wines have a higher acidity, which gives them the power to cut through rich sauces while complementing lighter fare like fresh salads, sushi, soft cheese, or seafood.

Alcohol Content: 11%.
