TASTING AND PAIRING

TO THE EYE
Golden color, intense, bright and shiny. The effervescence is dynamic, with an unceasing succession of clouds of fine bubbles.

ON THE NOSE
The nose first reveals echoes of yellow fruits and toasted almonds from the Chardonnay, combined with the juicy red fruits of the Pinot Noir.

IN THE MOUTH
The chalky character of the vintage gushes out in a tonic effervescence, vertical, with insistent freshness. The finish supported by lightly woody and saline notes gives the ensemble an ultimate sensation of delicacy and concentration.
Cristal 2015 remains of a sovereign measure and balance, resonating with the limestone dimension of the soils more than the solar character of the vintage. It is a delicate and concentrated Cristal that is emerging, charming and promising.

The Cristal vineyard is made up of 70 exceptional parcels, including 7 Grands Crus

LOUIS ROEDERER

The most famous wine of the House of Louis Roederer was born in 1876 to satisfy the demanding taste of Tsar Alexander II. The emperor asked Louis Roederer to reserve for him each year the best vintage of the House, which he particularly appreciated.

To accentuate its singularity, this exceptional champagne will be packaged in a flat-bottomed crystal bottle. From then on, it will bear the name of this precious material, exalting its transparency and its light. A wine of pure pleasure, of great gastronomy, the Cristal vintage is delicate and powerful at the same time, all in subtlety and precision. 

Like a new symphony, the 2015 Cristal vintage resonates with a different tone. Born on the Domaine Cristal, this iconic cuvee of the Louis Roederer Champagne House beats to the rhythm of the seasons, the climate and the work of the vineyard. Like a Burgundian wine, this Champagne wine is nourished by its soils, its vibration and the link that unites it with the sun and the light.

Louis Roederer Cristal 2015 with box is made, for the first time since 2002, from all the parcels over twenty years old eligible to enter the blend of Louis Roederer’s iconic cuvee. In the vineyard dedicated to the Cristal cuvee, only the most beautiful parcels are usually selected, to capture only the most authentic beating heart of Cristal.
