Louis Roederer Cristal 2013
Colour: Golden yellow with bright highlights.
Nose : The bouquet is powerful and complex, with aromas of yellow fruit (mirabelle plum), juicy ripe fruit (nectarine), citrus zest (candied orange) and dried fruit (toasted hazelnut). The nose is powdery, sweet, chalky and elegant.
Palate : The palate is tactile, soft and generous. The delicately vibrant effervescence underlines a smooth, dense and juicy body. The chalky freshness quickly takes over, bringing rhythm, energy and sapidity. The wine stretches out into an elegant, powerful profile, with fine, grainy tannins that reveal a vinous, broad, poised and serene dimension. The finish is both sapid and saline.
Food pairing : Caviar, Fruits de mer, Poisson grillé ou en sauce, Volaille rôtie, Fromages à pâte molle.

The history of Maison Louis Roederer dates back to 1776, when the champagne house was founded by Louis Roederer himself in Reims, France. In its early days, the company was primarily a wine merchant, but soon specialised in the production of high-quality sparkling wines. During the nineteenth century, Roederer grew considerably thanks to the efforts of Louis Roederer II, the founder's son. He was a visionary and a perfectionist, and did everything in his power to improve the quality and reputation of Roederer champagnes.vUnder the leadership of Louis Roederer II, the house concentrated on producing high-quality Champagne wines. He invested in vineyards, buying exceptional plots in the best terroirs of the Champagne region, notably in the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne. This gave him complete control of the production process, from vine to bottle.
One of the most significant moments in Roederer's history was when Tsar Alexander II of Russia asked Louis Roederer II to create a special cuvée for his imperial court. The champagne created, which later became the famous Cuvée Cristal, was presented in a transparent crystal bottle, so that the Tsar could see its contents and ensure that it contained no poison. This association with the Russian imperial court greatly contributed to Roederer's reputation at the time. Over the decades, Louis Roederer continued to innovate and develop. It remained a family business, passing from generation to generation. Today, the seventh generation of the Rouzaud family runs the business, carrying on the traditions and excellence inherited from Louis Roederer II.
Louis Roederer is recognised the world over for the exceptional quality of its champagnes. The house's emblematic cuvées include Cristal, Brut Premier and Rosé Vintage. Each wine is produced with care, using traditional techniques and respecting the terroirs of origin. The story of Louis Roederer is the story of a prestigious champagne house that has combined tradition and innovation to create some of the world's best-loved champagnes.
