🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH 【Hailed as a 'wine-of-the-vintage' candidate for Champagne in 2013, Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé 2013 showcases the ultimate charm of a top-tier rosé Champagne with its unparalleled purity, precision, and complexity.】 The 2013 vintage was characterized by a particularly late growing cycle, with a long winter and cool spring, and flowering not beginning until early July. Fortunately, a glorious summer with abundant sunshine and record high temperatures provided ideal conditions for the ripening of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The cool October harvest resulted in an elegant and fresh 'classic' vintage. Louis Roederer employs a unique 'infusion' technique for its rosé Champagnes, where a small amount of Chardonnay juice is added to the Pinot Noir maceration to ferment together, preserving the juicy, ripe character of Pinot Noir while maintaining exceptional freshness. The wine displays a light, delicate soft pink hue with bright, vibrant, ultra-fine bubbles. The refined bouquet offers freshly-picked tart red fruit (wild strawberry, raspberry) and lemon-scented flower petals, gradually joined by fresh almonds, bread, and spices (cocoa bean). The palate is intense, velvety, and captivating, with juicy, concentrated red fruit gradually pulling towards a raspberry liqueur character, complemented by invigorating, sweet citrus aromas. The mineral freshness creates a vertical, chalky, saline, and sapid sensation, with an incredibly long and persistent finish. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH This exquisite rosé Champagne pairs beautifully with fish such as salmon and tuna, meats including lamb, veal, guinea fowl, wood pigeon, and pheasant, as well as soft cheeses like Chaource and Brillat-Savarin.
