Cristal, which is space-age in price and quality, is Roederer’s passport to markets around the world for this great family-owned house. However, the Non Vintage Brut Premier is one of the top NV champagnes released in general with a terrific reputation to go with the rich, creamy, biscuit-infused character that makes it stand out.
It ages for a total of three years after the second fermentation in the lees bottle and a further 6 months after final bottling before release. Perfect balance between freshness and ripeness, excellent structure and length on the palate, with aromas of citrus, flowers, freshly baked bread and minerals.
Goes well with:
It is drunk now and for the next 5 years, combining it with, among other things, raw oysters or smoked salmon.
