Louis Roederer Cristal Millesime Brut Rose 1990 [Original Wooden Box]

Louis Roederer Cristal Millésime Brut Rosé 1990 [Original Wooden Case] ​​represents the quintessence of the House of Louis Roederer: clarity, refinement, and an unmistakable rigor that have distinguished Cristal for decades. The 1990 Millésime edition comes in its original wooden case and captures the exceptional balance of a mature yet vibrant vintage. This rosé blend combines Pinot Noir with Chardonnay, and the grapes' aging imparts a complex fruitiness, minerality, and subtle spice without sacrificing freshness. This bottle reflects the House's tradition of harmoniously uniting top Champagne vineyards into an impressive composition, making Cristal a highlight for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Tasting note: This Champagne presents itself as a luminous rosé gold, accompanied by a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, red berries, citrus notes, brioche, and a cool minerality mingle. On the palate, an elegant texture unfolds with sunny freshness, well-integrated acidity, and a long finish that includes notes of nut and a subtle hint of smoke. The 1990 vintage lends depth and complexity without sacrificing structure—precisely what critics such as Falstaff, Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Wine Spectator regularly praise. Food pairing: Ideal with langoustines, grilled seafood, scallops in a light sauce, or truffle risotto; serve with crusty brioche or a lemon sorbet for a refreshing contrast.
