Louis Roederer Cristal Vintage 2015

Sale price

The warm and dry vintage of 2015 provides both generousity but also hallmark freshness and elegance. The complex nose of citrus blossom, mint, lemon and lime zest opens up slowly as this aerates in the glass. The wine's ample structure is still quite firm, which is a vintage characteristic, the mousse very fine but also very lively for an eight-year-old champagne. Cristal fans will love this as it is, but a year or two more in the bottle will do a lot for the very long mineral finish of this youthful masterpiece. A cuvee of 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay, picked from all 45 Cristal vineyard plots. Tasted at the Cristal vertical tasting at the champagne house on July 6th, 2023. Drink from release.

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.

The quest for excellence is best reflected in the remarkable precision of the work carried out in the cellars. 25% of the wine is aged in oak and malolactic fermentation is prevented in order to retain the bright, fresh and exceptionally pure character of the fruit. Time is then left to work its magic
with six to seven years ageing sur lattes followed by six to twelve months of further ageing after disgorgement.

You could enjoy a wine of this magnitude on its own with a delicate pairing of oysters or our personal favourite at Emperor, caviar. Our find a fabulous sushi restaurant who accepts BYO and pair with an exceptional Japanese meal.
