Product details
Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé 2009 reflects a bright, sunny Champagne vintage shaped by a very cold, dry winter followed by a warm summer and exceptionally dry late-season conditions. The growing season encouraged traditional vine development and excellent grape ripeness, resulting in a vintage characterized by concentration, fruit intensity, and a luminous style. For Cristal Rosé, Louis Roederer combines Pinot Noir maceration with the addition of Chardonnay juice, allowing the two varieties to ferment together and create a harmonious expression. The wine is then given extended maturation before release, allowing the structure and fruit character to develop greater refinement and balance. Presented in a wooden gift box, this large-format Cristal Rosé 2009 combines the House’s meticulous approach with an elegant presentation suited to special occasions and collection.
The appearance is a bright pink with delicate copper nuances, accompanied by a persistent stream of fine bubbles. The bouquet is elegant and deep, revealing blackcurrant, blackberry, wild strawberry, and perfectly ripe Morello cherry, with a concentrated, tangy fruit character. On the palate, the texture is velvety and silky, combining the intensity and structure associated with Pinot Noir from Aÿ with remarkable delicacy, subtlety, and finesse. The overall impression is precise, layered, and graceful, with a long and refined expression that balances richness with freshness.
