Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé 2008 is a prestigious champagne that embodies the perfect blend of tradition, innovation, and exceptional craftsmanship of the Louis Roederer house. Made from carefully selected grape varieties – 56% Pinot Noir and 44% Chardonnay, this champagne represents a perfect harmony of power and delicacy, freshness, and richness of flavor.
What makes Cristal Rosé 2008 truly special is its unique vinification process, known as "infusion", which achieves an ideal balance between the fruitiness of Pinot Noir and the minerality of Chardonnay. The maceration is carefully controlled to preserve freshness and structure, and the wine is then aged for 8 years in bottles, allowing it to reach full maturity and elegance.
About Louis Roederer
Louis Roederer is one of the most prestigious and oldest independent Champagne houses, synonymous with luxury, tradition, and innovation. Founded in 1776 in the heart of Champagne, in the city of Reims, this family-run house has been nurturing the art of producing exceptional Champagnes for centuries, captivating connoisseurs worldwide.
The true rise of the house began in 1833, when Louis Roederer took over the family business and introduced a revolutionary approach—unlike other producers who purchased grapes, he decided to own and cultivate his own vineyards. This decision allowed him complete control over quality, terroir, and the unique style of his Champagnes, establishing the Louis Roederer brand’s distinctive signature.
Thanks to its passion, expertise, and unwavering commitment to excellence, Louis Roederer remains one of the most respected Champagne producers in the world, cherished by collectors, sommeliers, and lovers of fine wines.
