Louis Roederer
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.
The House of Roederer: a family heritage
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.

Description Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé 2005.
Created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia, Cristal is the prestige cuvée of Maison Louis Roederer. Made only in great years, when the ripeness of the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, respectively 45% and 55% of the blend, for Cuvée Rosé, including 20% of wines vinified in oak foudres, is optimal.
Cristal Rosé was aged for 6 years in the cellar before disgorgement. Its exceptional ageing potential, of over 20 years, now confers fine notes of evolution.
The aromatic intensity is felt right from the attack on the palate, with an imposing roundness and smooth, sweet flavors of white flowers, red fruits, caramel and tarte Tatin. The round, ample and refined texture at the beginning of the palate, typical of Louis Roederer, is supported by a vinous structure, without being full-bodied, and by a beautiful freshness giving an impression of great finesse and reinforcing the precision of this wine.
This exceptional Champagne will pair ideally with a red fruit Pavlova.
