Champagne Louis Roederer Cristal 2015
Vintage: Champagne Cristal 2015 relies on essence of its terroir, originating from vineyard plots under cultivation since 1845, following sustainable viticultural practices. This vintage reflects a distinctive identity deeply entrenched in the land, yet aspiring towards celestial heights. Winemaking: In the crafting of Cristal 2015, 25% of the wine undergoes oak aging, while the prevention of malolactic fermentation is deliberate to safeguard the fruit's luminous, fresh, and pure characteristics. The wine undergoes a six to seven-year sur lattes aging period, followed by an additional six to twelve months of post-disgorgement maturation. Tasting Notes: Cristal 2015 is a Champagne that engages the palate with its complexity and finesse. Its aromatic profile reveals nuances of yellow fruit, toasted almonds, and wheat from the Chardonnay, seamlessly integrated with the Pinot Noir's succulent red fruit notes. On the palate, the acidity is invigorating, evolving into a delicate tactile sensation, offering a silky texture with notes of candied citrus, spices and a salty mineral long finish. Food Pairing: Cristal 2015's exceptional equilibrium and finesse make it an ideal companion for a diverse array of foods. It harmonizes brilliantly with delicate seafood, such as oysters or sushi, accentuating its crisp freshness. Its silky texture complements dishes featuring creamy textures, such as lobster bisque or chicken in creamy sauces. For a contrast of flavors, savor it alongside aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano, which accentuates its depth and complexity.

Chateau Margaux Premier Grand Cru Classe 2017
The quality of Château Margaux 2017 comes close to its illustrious predecessors without pretending to rival the generosity of 2015 or the elegance of 2016. Nonetheless, it has a rightful place in the estate’s lineage of great vintages: it is profound, complex, intense and long. In some respects, it even surpasses our hopes following September’s rainfall and demonstrates yet again to what extent great terroirs are capable of transmitting all their best qualities into the wine. The initial tastings in the winemaking process offered a moment of astonishment. The Merlot batches are remarkable: the aromas are fruity and soft, a roundness on the palate and rich volume made it possible to include them in a proportion of 8% for the first wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon is always the heart and the framework for Château Margaux, accounting for 89% of the blend. Upon tasting, the tannins were perfectly ripe, which reassured us that our decision to wait a few more days before harvesting was the right choice. The wines’ structure remains a rare combination of power and refinement. Cabernet Franc (2%) and Petit Verdot (1%) round out the blend for this wine. Château Margaux represents 37% of the harvest.
