A Champagne of remarkable finesse and complexity, the 1997 Cristal Vinothèque Brut reflects the depth that comes from extended aging and careful craftsmanship. Aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, and orchard fruit mingle with subtle brioche, almond, and a hint of honey, creating a bouquet that is both inviting and refined. On the palate, it is creamy yet vibrant, revealing layers of baked apple, lemon curd, and toasted almond underpinned by fine mineral tension. The mousse is delicate and persistent, carrying the wine seamlessly through a long, resonant finish that speaks of elegance and balance. Rich, poised, and utterly expressive, the 1997 Cristal Vinothèque Brut is ideal for contemplative enjoyment or pairing with refined cuisine - a Champagne that captures the artistry, patience, and timeless sophistication of Louis Roederer.
