Champagne AOC Brut Grand Cru 'Cristal' Vintage 2013 (Magnum 1,5 L deluxe gift box) Louis Roederer
The Champagne AOC Brut Grand Cru Cristal Millésime 2013 by Louis Roederer reflects a cool, slow-ripening vintage that enhanced aromatic precision, vibrant acidity and remarkable ageing potential. Sourced exclusively from Grand Cru parcels and crafted from a balanced blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it undergoes extended lees ageing, developing silky complexity with notes of ripe citrus, almond, chalk and subtle toasted nuances. The palate is tense, deep and impeccably harmonious, leading to a long, minerally persistent finish. Perfect with shellfish, refined seafood dishes, delicate carpaccios and soft cheeses, it also pairs elegantly with fish tartare and sophisticated preparations featuring caviar.

THE VINEYARD
Our Champagne wines draw their virtues from the land. But it is the skilled work of our winegrowers and oenologists, at every stage of their creation, that will make them prestigious champagnes. Winegrower-composers, always in search of perfection, the men who work in the production of Louis Roederer champagnes know how to make this land fruitful, particularly exposed to the whims of the climate, practicing tailored viticulture, suited to the profile of each plot. Custodians of a centuries-old tradition, our winemakers seek the perfect maturity of the grapes while respecting the soil and biodiversity. The increasingly significant space given to the biodynamic principles allows them to further enrich the palette of flavors at their disposal.
THE MAISON
Heir to the Maison de Champagne in 1833, an entrepreneur and aesthete, Louis Roederer makes the far-sighted decision to enrich the vineyard to control all phases of the wine production and creates a style, a spirit, and a completely original taste. In the mid-19th century, with the purchase of selectively chosen vineyards with instinct and eclectic spirit on the lands of the Grands Crus de Champagne, Louis Roederer goes against the grain of the practices of the time.
While others buy grapes, Louis Roederer cares for the vineyard, deciphers the character of each parcel, and methodically acquires the best ones. Convinced that the essence of a great wine lies in the land, a lover of tradition and looking towards the future, Louis Roederer charts an exceptional destiny for the House that will then bear his name. His successor, Louis Roederer II, is driven by the same patient vision of champagne, the same heritage-based conception of the vineyard estate, the same enterprise.
