The Making of the Cristal Rosé 2014 Louis Roederer Champagne

The year 2014 is a year of contrast with a magnificent and very dry spring, followed by a very hot start to the summer, before a reversal of the trend with almost autumnal months of July and August. Fortunately, the month of September is marked by the return of sun and heat. This vintage allowed the House of Louis Roederer to reveal all the richness of its terroirs, thanks to remarkable viticultural work.

This Cristal Rosé 2014 is based on a blend of 55% Pinot Noir for structure and fruity aromatics, and 45% Chardonnay for tension and minerality. This cuvée comes from two of the most prestigious vineyards of the house: « La Rivière » and « La Côte », with emblematic crus such as Aÿ, Avize, and Mesnil-sur-Oger. A portion of these wines (19%) is vinified in oak to bring a touch of patina and complexity.

The making of Cristal Rosé is totally unique in Champagne. The House of Roederer has developed a unique technique called "infusion." This technique allows the extraction of the juicy and ripe side of the Pinot Noirs while maintaining great freshness. A portion of the Chardonnays is poured into a maceration of Pinot Noirs to ferment together and integrate perfectly.

The Cellar Master decided to block the malolactic fermentation to balance the wine and preserve great freshness.
