A word from Cave de France: Synonymous with refinement and elegance, Cristal de Roederer is a name that inspires dreams. Its robe is a pale, luminous gold, with fine and persistent effervescence, highlighting its purity and elegance.
On the nose, it reveals delicate aromas of candied citrus, white flowers, and stone fruits such as peach. Subtle notes of brioche, toasted almonds, and vanilla complete this refined aromatic bouquet.
On the palate, the texture is silky with very fine bubbles. The attack is lively, marked by a beautiful lemony and mineral freshness. Flavors of yellow fruits and hazelnuts enrich the gustatory palette, with a long and elegant finish with slightly iodized touches.
This vintage was crafted with partial barrel fermentation (approximately 25%), bringing additional depth while maintaining great purity due to the absence of malolactic fermentation. Its moderate dosage (7 g/L) helps preserve its natural balance.

Cristal 2015 is designed to age beautifully, developing even more complexity and harmony over the years.
This champagne is ideal for special occasions and pairs perfectly with delicate dishes such as seafood, caviar, or refined poultry.

Description from Louis Roederer House:

Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Cellar Master: "A quest for excellence, purity, balance: Cristal vibrates in unison with its terroir and perfectly echoes it."

Frédéric Rouzaud, Chairman and CEO:

"Resolutely forward-looking, Cristal constantly reveals, as it ages, different facets of its work and personality."

Tasting: A perfect union of sweetness and concentration, combined with a masterful maturity, Cristal 2015 delivers intense and delicious aromas assured of superb energy, a magical vibration. It is a champagne of eternity with a chalky temperament, carried by its soils, freed from the solar character of the vintage.
First on the nose are echoes of yellow fruits, toasted almonds, and Chardonnay harvest, associated with the red and juicy fruits of Pinot Noir. Then comes the great energy of the framework, its vibrational intensity which transforms into a soft caress, a silky texture where fine flavors of candied citrus and iodized spices emerge.
The chalky character of the vintage thus bursts forth in a tonic, vertical effervescence, with an insistent, precise, and chiseled freshness. The finish, supported by slightly woody, sappy, and saline notes, gives the whole an ultimate sensation of delicacy and concentration.

Cristal 2015 remains of a sovereign measure and balance, resonating with the chalky dimension of its soils more than the solar character of the vintage.
Always fully Cristal, intensely 2015, with immense aging potential.
The Cristal identity is unique and distinct in the history of great Champagne wines. It is a wine of soils and depth, a wine of the earth turned towards the light, which soars towards the sky and almost seems to reach it.

Each new vintage always reveals the character of Cristal, but each time through a different prism, like a kaleidoscope of flavors and textures. This changing coloration constantly renews Cristal, and each time, the connoisseur is both happy and surprised to discover it in a new light.

Fitting perfectly into the continental trend of the decade, the 2015 vintage thus, more than ever, ordered mature and structured wines, crowned with an insolent freshness guided by its white soils. The purity of the chalk burst forth, revealed by the gentle and virtuous viticultural practices of the House, offering an ideal symbiosis between maturity and freshness.

For the first time since 2002, this 2015 vintage comes from all 45 plots over twenty years old, thus eligible to enter the Cristal blend. This continental year with a concentrated profile made this exception and rarity possible, and it is now magical to see the entire estate reflect the identity of this unique wine: pure fruit, superior finesse, and a distinguished length.
Cristal owes this faithfulness to the soil to its permanence; it is a wine that is part of a duration, that of the seasons, of maturation, of transmission and research...
