LOUIS ROEDERER, CRISTAL BRUT 1989 |

Louis Roederer, Cristal Brut 1989 Foil very slightly corroded, otherwise excellent appearance, purchased from 'The Classic Cellar From A Great American Collector IX' at Sotheby's Hong Kong on 31 March 2012Last tasted from magnum in 2012. Absolutely extraordinary and created a huge frisson around the room of Champagne connoisseurs. Lime blossom and hazelnuts on the nose. Utter bliss on the palate, silky, icy and full of nougat notes. Candied fruits and total breed. This is a brilliant creation of pure beauty, breathtaking in its wondrous balance of fruit and acidity. It lingered on the palate and it will forever linger in the memory. Serena Sutcliffe, MW1 jero - 3 litres (owc)Estimates are per lot
