The House Louis Roederer is one of the names that comes up when we talk about the great houses of Champagne, being still one of the Rares to remain family owned for more than two centuries now.
Reigning over a vineyard of 240 hectares classified on sumptuous terroirs in Premiers Crus and Grands Crus, the House Louis Roederer has never ceased to offer generous Champagnes that embellish all occasions.
It was in 1833 that Louis Roederer inherited his uncle's house: the house of Champagne Dubois Père et Fils in Reims, which he had founded in 1776. From then on, he chose to take the habits and customs of the region in hand and showed great concern for controlling all the stages of production of his Champagne. At the time, marketing was the business of the wine merchants, while the vineyard belonged entirely to the winegrowers. Thus, in 1845, Louis Roederer bought about fifteen hectares of vineyards classified as Grand Cru and acquired the status of winemaker-negociant in order to reconcile the two trades.
In 1876, Louis Roederer II, who succeeded his father following his death in 1870, created at the request of Tsar Alexander II a special vintage for the exclusive consumption of the Tsars of Russia, the famous Cuvée Cristal. Fearing that he might be the target of an attack and that a political opponent might conceal an explosive in the bottom of the bottle, he wanted this cuvée to be free of explosives. Thus, the Cuvée Cristal is today the only bottle of Champagne to have a flat bottom. Then in 1908, Tsar Nicholas II granted the Roederer House the title of "Official Supplier to the Court of His Majesty the Emperor".
The House has continued to grow under the watchful eye of successive generations. The vineyard is now managed according to the principles of biodynamics, and the house never ceases to take steps to address climatic and ecological issues. The vineyard extends today on 240 hectares distributed on the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des blancs. Pinot Noir is the majority.
The House Louis Roederer offers a range of beautiful cuvées that reveal a personality of their own as well as the richness of the terroir from which they come.
The Champagnes Brut Millésimé age an average of 4 years in the cellar and wonderfully illustrate the greatness of the house. Intense and balanced on the nose, they show freshness and concentration on the palate. The result is simply delicious.
The famous Champagnes Brut nature are seductive as hell, offering vibrant energy, freshness and plenty of minerality.
The Champagnes Blanc de blanc are a combination of great chalk terroir combined with human passion. The result is an irresistible, creamy, muscatel-like Champagne.
What about the famous Cuvée Cristal, an exceptional Champagne adored by the most seasoned connoisseurs. Made from the House's best vineyard selections classified as Grand Cru, it is aged for a minimum of 6 years on lees and deserves 6 more to reveal its full potential. Delicate, unctuous, precise and incredibly persistent, it is an irresistible nectar.
The 2000 vintage was supple, gourmet, refined and precise. Moderate power, they are particularly seductive and signed by the great success of Chardonnays.
Cristal Vinothèque is the ultimate Cristal experience of a few bottles kept for 20 years in cellars. The cuvée was matured for 11 years on slats, then 5 years on points and enjoyed a rest of 4 years after disgorging.
This blend champagne is composed of 56% Pinot noir and 44% Chardonnay.
It is a Grand Cru Champagne from the vineyards of Ay, Avize and Mesnil-sur-Oger.
The color is orange-pink with slightly amber reflections.
On the nose: intense bouquet of small red fruits such as raspberries, Plougastel strawberries or Mara des bois. Notes of hazelnut and stone fruit liqueur as well as sweet cocoa powder.
On the palate, we find notes of tangy raspberry, blackcurrant and citrus (Sicilian Orange). The texture resembles velvet with this fascinating impression of concentrated liquor in the mid-palate followed by the salty and chalky freshness.
Food / wine pairing: as an aperitif served at 10-12 ° C accompanied by canapés of foie gras, either duck or Gers goose. It is also perfect for dessert, such as a strawberry cake, a tarte tatin or a Norwegian black forest.
