2013 Champagne Louis Roederer, Cristal Rosé, Brut UOM So as winemaker Pierre Trimbach

there is also depth which adds real class and sophistication when allied to a mineral complexity

2013 Champagne Louis Roederer, Cristal Rosé, Brut UOM So as winemaker Pierre TrimbachInterestingly, the 2013 Cristal Ros is more austere than the Blanc.
