Vinification of Cristal Brut AOC by Champagne Louis Roederer

The foundation for this extraordinary champagne consists of hand-selected grapes from the best vineyards in Champagne. The grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grow on limestone soils, which lend the wine its refined character. The harvest is carried out exclusively by hand to ensure only perfect grapes are processed. The berries are gently pressed to preserve fruitiness and elegance.

The vinification is carried out with the utmost care. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks or used oak barrels, which gives the wine its fine structure and complexity. Maturation on the fine lees lasts at least six years, allowing the robust creaminess and diverse aromas to develop optimally. The traditional bottle fermentation creates the characteristic fine mousse with delicate pearls. Regular remuage (riddling) is performed to harmoniously integrate the yeasts.

Special attention is given to the dosage, which is very discreet and emphasizes the freshness of the wine. Thus, Cristal Brut AOC by Champagne Louis Roederer presents itself as an elegant and well-balanced champagne with great depth and refined finesse.
