Roederer Cristal 2009
Tasting Note
A yellow-gold colour with mat and amber tints. Persistent, brilliant, fine and lively bubbles. A subtle bouquet, simultaneously discreet and concentrated. It releases notes of citrus compote and candied apricots and evokes the sweetness of honeysuckle.
About the Producer
Initially founded in 1776, Louis Roederer inherited the company from his uncle in 1833, renamed it and set out to target markets abroad, with concentrated efforts in several countries, including Russia. Tsar Nicholas II nominated Louis Roederer as the official wine supplier to the Imperial Court of Russia. Although the Russian Revolution and the U.S. Prohibition caused financial difficulties during the early 20th century, Roederer was re-established as a leading Grandes Marques producer. Cristal is a prestige cuvée brand and was made commercially available in 1945.
