Key points about Louis Roederer Cristal and the 2002 vintage:

1. Cristal: Cristal is typically a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, with an emphasis on Chardonnay. It is known for its elegance, finesse, and aging potential.
2. Late Release: Some Champagne houses, including Louis Roederer, may choose to release certain vintages later than the initial release. Extended aging in the cellars allows the Champagne to develop further complexity and nuances.
3. Champagne’s 2002 vintage produced wines with excellent structure, balance, and aging potential as a result of the favorable weather conditions.

Louis Roederer’s 2002 Late-Release Cristal Champagne is made from 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay grapes. After nine years of maturation, this Cristal has developed an aromatic character with notes of vanilla, peaches, citrus zest, and a trace of truffle.
