A richly opulent, biscuity masterpiece
From award-winning winemaker Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon comes this sublime bubbly displaying buttery brioche and citrus aromas you only find in the very finest vintage Champagne.
Louis Roederer inherited the estate in 1833. He established the wine's unique style, character, and taste.
In the mid-nineteenth century, Louis Roederer bought some of Champagne's grand cru vineyards, an approach that contrasted sharply with contemporary practices.
His heir, Louis Roederer II was equally particular and conscientious about his approach to the production of champagne, as instilled by his adoptive father.
In the 1870s, Louis Roederer began to export its wines to the USA, and even to Tsar Alexander II of Russia. In 1876, the most prestigious of all Louis Roederer's champagnes was created and named Cristal.
Over the next 135 years Louis Roederer stayed an independent family run champagne house.
Today the house is run by Jean-Claude Rouzaud the grandson of Camille Roederer.
"The 2009 Vintage is an intense and lively wine of the highest quality, embodying the fruitiness and power of this great vintage." - Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Cellar Master
A rich, dense style of champagne with flavours of candied fruits, almond paste and caramel coming through on the palate while the nose is full of brioche and toast notes.
