NATURE, THE FOUNDATION OF THE FINEST CHAMPAGNES

Observing Nature enables us to create our fine champagnes. We explore Nature each day, examining the soils, checking the pulse of the earth and breathing in the fresh air surrounding the vines… Throughout the seasons, advancing at the steady pace of man or horse, we capture her qualities and work her soils as respectfully as possible.

IN TUNE WITH THE LIVING WORLD

If respecting Nature is the key, Man’s work is the mechanism. This perfect symbiosis gives rise to healthy, juicy fruit, plump with sugar. Wine growing is in our blood and we strive to listen to Nature every day to help convey its absolute truth, using gentle, ethical practices that respect the living world

CHAMPAGNE CRISTAL

« A wine of pure pleasure and a sophisticated gastronomic wine, Cristal
is both powerful and delicate, combining subtlety and precision. »
 Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Cellar Master

THE TSAR’S WINE

Our House’s most famous wine was created in 1876 to satisfy the demanding tastes of Tsar Alexander II. The emperor asked Louis Roederer to reserve the House’s best cuvée for him every year. He was particularly fond of the House’s wine. To distinguish this cuvée, this exceptional champagne came in a flat-bottomed, transparent lead-crystal bottle. The new brand was named after this precious material, which is particularly transparent and luminous.

PERFECT HARMONY

Produced uniquely during the best years, when the Chardonnay (around 40%) and Pinot noir (around 60%) grapes have attained perfect maturity, Cristal is aged for 6 years in Louis Roederer’s cellars and left for a further 8 months after dégorgement.

A SYMPHONY OF PURITY AND ELEGANCE

Cristal is a remarkably balanced and refined champagne whose length is inimitable. It has a silky texture and fruity aromas, complemented by a powerful mineral quality with white fruit and citrus notes. Cristal is a wine that keeps well: it can be conserved for over twenty years without losing its freshness and character.
