More questions
The Cristal Brut Millesime 2012 by Louis Roederer is a masterpiece from the renowned Champagne region, the result of an excellent vintage that embodies the elegance and finesse typical of this unique terroir. Made from a strict selection of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, this vintage represents the quintessence of the maison’s savoir-faire.
The aging takes place for over six years on the lees, giving complexity and depth to a wine with a very fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it reveals rich citrus nuances, notes of ripe white fruit, and a delicate chalky-flinty minerality, while the palate stands out for vibrant freshness, balance, and a long, creamy finish. Perfect to accompany refined seafood dishes or moments of rare celebration, this Champagne in Magnum format, presented in a precious case, is an authentic sensory experience to share.

The winery
Champagne Louis Roederer
ChampagneFranciaSince 1776

The story
The house dates back to the 18th century: the business began as a small négociant and over time was inherited and renamed by Louis Roederer. In the 19th century the maison consolidated its position in foreign markets and in 1876 created its flagship cuvée, Cristal, at the request of Tsar Alexander II. During the 20th century and in recent years the family continued to expand the vineyards and the group also acquired other international wine estates.
Production philosophy
Priority is given to grape quality and respect for the land: parcel-by-parcel winemaking, extended cellar ageing, and a growing focus on sustainable viticulture. In recent decades the estate has begun converting to organic and biodynamic practices to enhance the terroir and biodiversity.
Terroir and vineyards
Estate-owned vineyards spread across the Champagne Grands Crus, notably the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs; headquarters and principal winery in Reims.
