Presentation
The Champagne Louis Roederer Cristal 2009 is the expression of a sunny and generous vintage, enhanced by the expertise of the Roederer house. This great wine, made from a blend of mainly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, comes from the best vineyards of the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. The 2009 vintage, marked by a warm season and optimal grape maturity, offers a rich and opulent body, while retaining the freshness and balance characteristic of Cristal. This exceptional champagne combines power, finesse, and complexity, and already reveals great elegance, with exceptional aging potential.

Tasting Notes
To the eye, Cristal 2009 presents a light gold color with sparkling highlights, accompanied by a fine and lively effervescence. The nose reveals generous aromas of ripe yellow fruits (apricot, peach), honey, and fresh brioche, complemented by delicate notes of vanilla, almond, and white flowers. On the palate, the attack is full and round, followed by a beautiful structure supported by vibrant freshness and fine minerality. The texture is silky, with a long and complex finish, marked by toasted touches and a subtle salinity. Cristal 2009 is an elegant and powerful champagne, ideal for accompanying rich and refined gourmet dishes.

Founded in 1776 in Reims, the Louis Roederer house is one of the last great Champagne houses to remain family-owned and independent. It owes its international renown to exceptional expertise, a constant demand for quality, and perfect mastery of the entire production chain, from the vineyard to the cellar.

The house now owns more than 240 hectares of vines, located exclusively in the Grands and Premiers Crus of Champagne, which allows it great autonomy and a unique style. At the helm of the cuvée production, Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, a visionary cellar master, embodies oenological excellence and innovation. He has profoundly influenced the identity of Roederer wines, notably through sustainable and biodynamic viticulture.

The house’s flagship is undoubtedly Cristal, created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia. This legendary cuvée, produced only in the best years, is today one of the most sought-after champagnes in the world. Its perfect balance, purity, crystalline elegance, and exceptional aging potential make it a true work of oenological art.
