Champagne AOC Brut Cristal Rosé Millesime 2014 Louis Roederer

What kind of wine is it

Cristal Rosé by Louis Roederer is a rosé Champagne made with a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, typical of the Champagne region. This wine displays a fresh and harmonious style, with elegant structure and pronounced mineral tension. The profile is refined and characterful.

Where does it come from

Cristal Rosé comes from the Champagne region. The continental climate, with cold winters and mild summers, allows for gradual ripening of the grapes and ensures balance between acidity and phenolic maturity, key elements of this sparkling wine's style.

How is it made

Cristal Rosé is made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. 19% of the wine is aged in wood and no malolactic fermentation is carried out, to preserve freshness and finesse.

Tasting notes

The wine has a pale pink color with copper highlights and a fine, persistent perlage. The nose reveals aromas of red fruits such as raspberry and currant, accompanied by notes of brioche, toasted almond, and dried flowers. The palate reveals elegant structure, a fresh attack and a texture supported by vibrant acidity, with a long and savory finish reminiscent of wild berries and a hint of sea breeze.

Food pairings

Cristal Rosé pairs well with shellfish dishes such as gratinated oysters and shrimps in a light sauce. It is ideal with smoked salmon and tuna tartare, thanks to its freshness and minerality. In Italian cuisine, it accompanies seafood risotto and pasta with clams.

When to serve

It is recommended to serve at 8-10 °C to enhance freshness and fruity aromas. Suitable for celebrations, tastings with friends or refined pairings at the table. Thanks to its structure and balance, the wine can rest in the cellar for several years, evolving towards greater aromatic complexity.
