Louis Roederer Cristal Champagne '14

- 100% Biodynamically farmed fruit

- 60% Pinot noir and 40% Chardonnay

- A wine to cellar and collect as this will need time to mellow

This house has serious pedigree and a long history of making outstanding wines. Roederer is still family owned and run and has a significant land holding of over 230 hectares allowing them to supply 70% of their grape requirements with excellent fruit. We are impressed by Louis Roederer’s increasing commitment to exploring biodynamics both with treatment of their vast vineyard holdings plus the recent acquisition of a 15 hectare biodynamic parcel from Leclerc Briant. A relatively small 3 million bottles per annum of production are exported, largely to the USA.

60% Pinot noir, 40% Chardonnay; a pool of 50 hectares of vines averaging 42 years of age on the most chalky mid-slopes, yielding 50% less than the appellation; 100% biodynamic vineyards, 32% fermented in oak; No malolactic fermentation; 8g/L dosage; typically 150,000–300,000 bottles. 6 years on lees.

Take this prestige cuvée to another level and serve with caviar. Take the caviar straight from the back of the hand so that you can appreciate its beauty. Please ensure that the wine is served in an Emperor tulip or a white wine glass to allow the cuvée to show you its true potential.
