Louis Roederer Cristal Vintage 2013 Brut Rose Champagne

The Louis Roederer Cristal Vintage 2013 Brut Rosé Champagne is a masterclass in balance and complexity. From the first pour, it reveals layers of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers, and red berries, intertwined with stone fruit, freshly baked bread, and bright tangerine oil. Full-bodied and multidimensional, this vintage carries the year's characteristic acidity with ease, wrapped in exuberant, concentrated fruit that's both generous and refined. The finish is intensely sapid, leaving a lasting impression of precision and charm. Unlike the muscular 2012, the 2013 captivates with its alliance of structure and flesh, tension and elegance. A contender for wine-of-the-vintage honors, this is a banner release from the reigning champion of Champagne's prestige cuvées—one that rewards both immediate enjoyment and patient cellaring.
