Description

The Cristal Brut Millesime 2012 of the Maison Louis Roederer represents the pinnacle of elegance and finesse in Champagne. Produced in the prestigious Champagne region of France, this wine is born from a careful selection of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes cultivated with care, in a vintage that offered a perfect balance between freshness and structure. The aging in the bottle, carried out for a prolonged period on the lees, gives complexity and a creamy texture to the palate.

On the nose, it opens with scents of ripe white fruit, citrus, and light notes of toasted hazelnut, while the sip is vibrant, with an extremely fine bubble that caresses the palate, revealing elegant persistence and a slightly mineral finish. The Cristal 2012 is ideal to pair with refined dishes such as shellfish, raw fish, or elaborate white meats, enhancing their delicacy with its marked freshness and complexity. In magnum format, the charm and longevity of this cuvée are amplified, making it perfect for unique moments of celebration.

Winery history

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.
