The Making Of Cristal Brut
The Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 2006 is an indicative blend of Chardonnay 40% and Pinot Noir 60%. The champagne is aged six years, then left for eight more months after dégorgement. The specific aging and blend is the key to creating an overall refreshing and
crisp flavor.

The last notes leave an impression of slight bitterness, yet still remaining true to the fresh fruit flavors.
