Delivery Details

Louis Roederer Cristal 2015 is a highly esteemed Grande Marque's prestige cuvée, and is one of Champagne's most iconic wines. Cristal 2015 was assembled from 45 plots from 7 villages, including Verzenay, Verzy, Beaumont-sur-Vesle, Aÿ, Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant. Each plot was vinified separately, so as to fully express each vineyard's soil and microclimate. The vineyards are cultivated using biodynamic methods, augmenting the relationship between the vines, soil, and light. 25% of the wine was fermented in oak barrel, adding a layer of richness and complexity, and malolactic fermentation is avoided, maintaining the freshness and purity of the fruit. Ageing on lees sur latte lasted for between 6 and 7 years, and the bottles were held back for a further 6 to 12 months post-disgorgement.

This masterpiece is true to Cristal's signature style, with incredible precision and complex yet delicate perfume. There is no doubt that the rich and toasty side of Cristal will be revealed after 5 to 10 years of further ageing.

"The 2015 Cristal is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. No malo-lactic was employed, and 25% wine was aged in oak. The dosage is 7 grams per liter. An exquisitely delicate yet complex perfume of clover honey, freshly shaved ginger, marzipan, and jasmine slowly emerges from the nose, giving way to a core of pear tart, persimmons, and apple butter. The palate is an exercise in finesse, featuring very fine bubbles and fantastic intensity with a myriad of spice and floral nuances, finishing with impressive persistence and jaw-dropping poise. This is a style for those that embrace purity, soft-spoken expression, and impeccable crafting. It won't disappoint those who love Champagne in its initial youthful perfume flushes, yet will undoubtedly reward the patient with a richer, toastier, more obvious and opulent style with 5-10 years+ of cellaring." Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 98 Points

“If the 2014 vintage was especially open and demonstrative, the 2015 Cristal is going to require more patience. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, crisp stone fruits, white flowers, crushed mint and subtle hints of buttery pastry, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a deep, concentrated and rather introverted core of fruit framed by chalky extract and animated by a pretty pinpoint mousse. This is a serious, vinous Champagne that has considerable substance to age and may well evolve along the lines of the lovely 1985.” William Kelley - 95 Points
Grape: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
2015 was a hot, sunny and dry vintage in Champagne. Indeed, it was the hottest ever recorded at the time. Some rain in August gave the vines much-needed hydration, and cool nights helped the grapes retain acidity. Yields were fairly low. As a result, the 2015 vintage Champagnes are excellent, with rich fruit and well-balanced acidity.
The bouquet presents notes of donut peach, almond and wheat. The silkily textured palate evokes lemon curd, acacia honey, ginger and pastry. In this ripe vintage, Cristal exhibits great concentration and wonderful balance; the chalky soils transmitting a saline minerality and racy freshness.
