Roederer´s flag ship wine was created in 1876 to satisfy the demanding tastes of Tsar Alexander II. The emperor asked Louis Roederer to reserve the House’s best cuvée for him every year. He was particularly fond of the House’s wine. To distinguish this cuvée, this exceptional champagne came in a flat-bottomed, transparent lead-crystal bottle. The new brand was named after this precious material, which is particularly transparent and luminous.

  • Complete description

    Vintage Description:

    Aromas of clear honey, crisp green orchard fruit, white peach, pastry cream and dried white flowers introduce the 2012 Cristal, a full-bodied, concentrated and powerful wine. Broad, textural and muscular, with a great reserve of structuring dry extract, it is incisive and searingly chalky. This is the first Cristal produced exclusively from organically farmed fruit, and it marks the opening of a new chapter for Louis Roderer. (William Kelley - The Wine Advocate, Dec. 2019)

Subsequently, blending and bottling took place together with the liqueur de tirage (a yeast-sugar-wine mixture).

    Details zur Herkunft:

    Zertifiziertes biologisches Produkt

    Bio:

    Das EU-Biosiegel ist der Mindeststandard, den ein Produzent erfüllen muss, wenn er seinen Produkt Bio nennen möchte und es ist die Grundvoraussetzung zum Beitritt in einen der Bio-Verbände, deren Auflagen jedoch noch strenger sind. Weine mit dem EU-Siegel müssen zu 95 Prozent aus der Bio-Produktion stammen. Wichtigstes Charakteristikum der biologischen Landwirtschaft ist die ganzheitliche Betrachtung des landwirtschaftlichen Betriebs. Natürliche Lebensprozesse sollen gefördert und Stoffkreisläufe weitgehend geschlossen werden. Bedeutend ist ebenso der komplette Verzicht auf chemische Pflanzenschutzmittel (Pestizide), Herbizide oder Fungizide. Gen-Technik ist grundsätzlich verboten, die Höchstwerte für Sulfite sind um ein Drittel reduziert, aber auch der Einsatz von Sorbinsäure zur Konservierung ist untersagt.
