Presentation
The Champagne Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Vinothèque 2002 is the culmination of exceptional cellar aging, revealing all the complexity and depth of an exceptional vintage. Sourced from the finest vineyards and carefully blended, this Cristal has benefited from extended storage, allowing the wine to acquire a unique aromatic richness and perfect maturity.

A treasure to be savored on special occasions.

Tasting Notes
To the eye, this Cristal Vinothèque 2002 presents an intense, vibrant, and deep amber gold color, accompanied by a fine and persistent effervescence. The nose reveals a complex aromatic palette, blending evolved notes of dried fruit (hazelnut, almond), honey, toast, as well as touches of candied fruit and brioche. On the palate, the richness and density are fully expressed, balanced by refreshing acidity and elegant minerality. The texture is velvety, with a long, warm, and refined finish, marked by toasted and spicy nuances. An exceptional champagne, ideal for accompanying elaborate gourmet dishes such as foie gras, fine fish or white meats in sauce.

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.
