LOUIS ROEDERER Cristal Rosé “Vinothèque” 1995
Description:
Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé Vinothèque 1995 is a remarkably rare and prestigious Champagne. Crafted from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from Grand Cru vineyards, this exceptional rosé underwent a meticulous ageing process, spending 20 years in the cellars after disgorgement. This extended ageing allows the wine to develop a unique and captivating complexity. Expect a deeper pink colour compared to a younger Cristal Rosé. The aromas are likely to be exceptionally complex, offering a captivating interplay between mature notes like brioche, honey, and hints of spice, alongside lingering hints of red fruit character like strawberry and raspberry. The palate is expected to be rich and elegant, with balanced acidity and a long, lingering finish that retains a touch of vibrancy from the original vintage.
Pairing:
Champagne Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé Vinothèque 1995 can be paired with delicate and refined dishes such as seared scallops with citrus beurre blanc, grilled sea bass with a fennel salad, or a raspberry and white chocolate mousse for dessert.

Reviews
20 Pt – Jancis Robinson Tested November 19th, 2018
Decided to do exactly the same ageing as for the white. Grapes from four particularly ‘fleshy’ parcels: two parcels of Pinot Noir from Aÿ, and Chardonnay from Mesnil and Avize. Not a trace of blue in this! No extraction, but a real ‘infusion’ of flavours. Pinot juice is run off and 45% Chardonnay juice added, then alcoholic fermentation as a white wine (ie not red wine added to white wine). No skin contact.
Pale orange matches lettering on label exactly. Broad and round and super-Pinot-fruity nose. Very clean and fresh. Neat and very sprightly. No apparent age. Though there is depth on the palate. Long and satisfying. Colour only from the early juice stage. Love the rose-petal flavour!
