    Overview

    Louis Roederer Cristal Rose Vinothèque 2000


    Tasting Notes:
    Orangey pink with delicate amber tints. Beautifully fine and even bubbles.

    Intense scents of raspberry, hazelnut, stone fruit liqueurs and sweet cocoa powder. The expression of Pinot noir is clear, bright and incredibly fresh.

    The rich, creamy palate is fresh yet concentrated and reveals tart notes of raspberry combined with blackcurrant and citrus (Sicilian orange). The texture is velvety smooth with as fascinating liqueur-like concentration on the mid-palate which gives way to a chalky, saline freshness from the magnificent white soils in which the Cristal Rose is born. 

    The finish is pure, ethereal and mouth-watering.

    Vintage 2000:
    2000 was a chaotic, difficult and very rainy year. A succession of storms were accompanied by destructive hailstorms, the worst of which was in the Montagne de Reims on 2 July. Summer saw oceanic weather conditions and gave rise to a very classic style of wine: smooth, lush, elegant and precise. These seductive and discreetly powerful wines show the beauty of the Chardonnay varietal at its finest.

    Winemaking:
    Cristal Vinothèque 2000 is a celebration of the remarkable adventure of just a small number of bottles that have been laid down for 20 years in the Louis Roederer cellars as they continue their quest for the perfect balance. This cuvée was aged for 11 years "sur lattes" (stored horizontally) followed by 5 years "sur pointes" (upside down, vertical position) and benefitted from a further 4 years of rest after disgorgement. 

    Pinot noir 56%, Chardonnay 44% 
    20% of the wines vinified in oak 

    No malolactic fermentation.

    Dosage: 8 g/l
