Louis Roederer's Cristal Vinotheque 2000 is a brut white blend Champagne consisting of 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay, 17% vinified in oak.
Nose: It has an intense, complex bouquet with a blend of citron, citrus peel, grilled almond and wheat aromas. We have a tantalizing impression of morning dew combined with smoky notes, nougat and honey. Upon aeration, slightly truffled vanilla notes then come to the fore.
Palate: The palate is fresh and energetic yet caressing and luminous. The big, juicy, body quickly gives way to a limestone, saline and almost iodine-like finesse showing infinite energy. Fine, toasted hazelnuts round off the flavorsome palate. The finish lingers delicately with a powdery, salivating and very saline Umami-like sensation. The 2002 Cristal Vinothèque is a gastronomic wine that is best decanted for a few minutes before drinking.
