Louis Roederer

Estate

Louis Roederer, founded in 1776, is one of Champagne's most prestigious and innovative houses. Located in Reims, it remains family-owned and is currently managed by Frédéric Rouzaud, representing the seventh generation. Roederer owns 240 hectares of vineyards in the finest crus of Champagne, supplying 70% of their grape needs - an exceptionally high proportion for a Champagne house. The estate is renowned for its commitment to sustainable viticulture, with a significant portion of its vineyards farmed biodynamically, and for producing the famous prestige cuvée Cristal.

2008

Cristal's Legendary Vintage

The 2008 growing season at Roederer's vineyards was marked by a cool summer followed by a warm, dry September, allowing for slow, steady ripening. These conditions resulted in grapes with exceptional acidity, concentration, and aromatic complexity. The 2008 Cristal embodies the vintage's hallmark freshness and structure, while showcasing Roederer's meticulous viticulture and winemaking.

2012

Triumph Over Adversity

The 2012 growing season at Roederer's vineyards was characterized by a challenging spring followed by near-perfect summer conditions. This resulted in a small but high-quality harvest, with grapes displaying intense concentration and pristine acidity. The 2012 Cristal captures the vintage's unique combination of power and finesse, showcasing Roederer's ability to excel even in complex years.

2014

Classic Crystalline Perfection

At Roederer's historic Cristal vineyards, the 2014 season began with a mild spring, followed by a cooler summer that preserved crucial acidity and aromatic complexity in the fruit. The house's biodynamically-farmed plots benefited from perfect September conditions, with Chef de Cave Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon orchestrating a precise harvest that captured optimal ripeness while maintaining the tension and freshness that are hallmarks of classic Cristal.

2015

Solar Power Meets Precision

The 2015 growing season at Roederer's Cristal vineyards was marked by a warm, dry summer that tested the estate's biodynamically-farmed vines, yet their deep root systems proved remarkably resilient. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon's decision for an early harvest preserved crucial freshness, while the house's chalk-rich soils provided natural freshness and minerality despite the warmth. The resulting wine captures both the solar nature of the vintage and Cristal's inherent elegance.
