Louis Roederer

Established in 1776, Champagne Louis Roederer is one of the few remaining completely independent, family owned Champagne houses. By 1886 the House had acieved such a reputation for quality that the second Louis Roederer was asked by Tsar Alexander II to create Cristal for the exclusive use of the Russian Tsars, and in so doing created the first Cuvee de Prestige.

Roederer owns just over 214 hectares of vineyards situated in the finest sites, making them self sufficient for all vintage styles. Such a high proportion of "estate" grapes is unusual in Champagne and ensures superior quality at all stages.

Wines from Louis Roederer

Producer: Louis Roederer
Wine: Cristal 2004
Region: Champagne Country: France
Grape: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
Tasting notes: “Brilliant yellow color displaying light amber nuances, combined with an ultra-fine, persistent, soft effervescence. There’s an intense, highly expressive bouquet on the first nose! The aromatic elegance and precision of Chardonnay is apparent: white fruit, sweet pollen, fine citrus fruit and very pure minerality. After a few minutes, the aromas move on to more confit, lightly grilled hints. The bouquet is rich and sweet, almost generous, remaining precise and impeccably refined. The bite in the mouth is full and creamy, revealing an incredible concentration of juicy fruits: yellow peach, apricot, mango and others. This silky, meaty concentration, which is both dense and soft – and typical of great pinot noirs – is immediately combined with a sophisticated touch of acidity, bringing the wine alive with minerality. The overriding impression is one of a true harmony of flavors, senses and silky textures...Absolute sensuality.” – Jean Baptiste Lécaillon, Cellar Master.
