It has a silky texture and fruity aromas, complemented by a powerful mineral quality with white fruit and citrus notes. Cristal is a wine that keeps well: it can be conserved for over twenty years without losing its freshness and character. Produced uniquely during the best years, when the Chardonnay (around 40%) and Pinot noir (around 60%) grapes have attained perfect maturity, Cristal is aged for 6 years in Louis Roederer’s cellars and left for a further 8 months after dégorgement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA yellow-gold colour with mat and amber tints.

It releases notes of citrus compote and candied apricots and evokes the sweetness of honeysuckle. When aerated, notes of vanilla-edged cocoa bean emerge, with toasted hazelnut, hints of liquorice and even a touch of cinnamon. The palate is structured, energetic and sculpted. An initial dense, ripe and silky sensation is amplified by the discovery of a chalky, cherry freshness, a powdered, almost mentholated brightness. The feeling is delicate and ethereal, a succession of delicious and colourful textures perfectly integrated within the lightness and finesse of the wine... an invitation on a journey of discovery.

White cherries and strong, chalky minerals, too. The palate has a very composed feel. Seamless and quite silky texture with effortless length and flow. Very fluid and composed. Very late, warming almond flavors. This is very long and smooth with a velvety finish. Super long Pinot weight. Resolved and drinkable, but will age so well. - \u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling, 98 Points.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Champagne\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Pinot Noir 60%, Chardonnay 40%\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Champagne\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2012\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 1.5L Magnum\u003cbr\u003eABV - 12%\u003cbr\u003eClosure - Cork\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louis Roederer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40407985127511,"sku":"LOUCRI121.5L","price":1399.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/Louis_Roederer_Cristal_Champagne_2012_1.5L.webp?v=1788157774"},{"product_id":"louis-roederer-collection-243-nv-3l","title":"Louis Roederer Collection 243 NV 3L","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelcome aboard Collection 243 NV! The collection number represents the number of non-vintage releases since the inception of the house in 1776. This release is a touch riper than 242, yet maintains wonderful shape and freshness—a truly seductive NV. Enjoy aromas of juicy mirabelle plum, pink grapefruit, and mineral inflections on the nose.

Summer set many new records for heat, drought, and sunshine levels. The Pinot Noir displayed a luxurious texture, while the Chardonnays were dense and saline, harvested at perfect ripeness, and the Meunier was intensely fruity. The harvests began on 27 August and ended on 8 September.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blend is crafted from equal parts of their estate vineyards: la Rivière, la Montagne, and la Côte.

Founded in the late 1700s, the renowned Champagne house remains owned and operated by the Roederer family. Their signature style consists of an equal blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with a touch of Pinot Meunier, which comprises approximately one-fifth of the blend. Louis Roederer's most famous wine is Cristal, a prestigious Champagne that has captured the hearts of wine enthusiasts worldwide. The house was established in 1833, aiming to capture foreign markets, particularly Russia. Roederer became the wine of choice for the Russian royal family, and Cristal was created for Tsar Alexander II. In 1845, Louis Roederer acquired grand cru vineyards in Champagne, a rarity at the time as most houses sourced grapes from growers. Today, Roederer's vineyards encompass around 240 hectares of land, with approximately 25% managed biodynamically. This commitment to sustainable farming practices underscores the house's dedication to producing high-quality wines that are both delicious and environmentally responsible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Philosophy:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA visionary intuition led to the creation of this exceptional estate. In 1845, Louis Roederer acquired 15 hectares in the Grand Cru vineyards of Verzenay. The idea—which was quite unusual at a time when grapes had little value—was to become a winegrower to master the entire process of creating vintage wines. Ever since, every Louis Roederer vintage originates exclusively from its own vines, which is rare in the Champagne region. The quest for a diversity of terroirs, crus, parcels, and grape varieties in the vineyards (or climats, to use the Burgundian term) was rapidly integrated by the House of Louis Roederer. A groundbreaking strategy was implemented, which involved buying specific parcels selected for their capacity to produce distinctive wines. This strategy remains a core component of the House’s continuing development. In 2024, Louis Roederer’s vineyards stretch across 250 hectares and include 420 parcels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose - Mirabelle Plum, Honey, Smoky Creamy Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDried herb aromas with richness and ripeness: lemon, honey, subtle nutty overtones and smoky creamy notes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate - Focussed, Stone Fruits, Honeycomb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eChampagne evocative of crisp stone fruits, honeycomb, white flowers and buttery pastry.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish - Buttery Pastry, Bright Acids, Saline Finish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn ample core of fruit, bright acids and a saline finish, it will offer demonstrative drinking on release.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLight straw colour and a savoury bouquet of straw, dry grass, dried herb aromas with richness and ripeness: lemon, honey, subtle nutty overtones and smoky creamy notes. It's quite full in the mouth and very dry, savoury and well-structured, with evident tannins and acidity that call loudly for food. There is richness and amplitude on the palate, giving it the backbone that is needed for a food wine. The finish is long and insistent, the end-palate crisply dry and loaded with energy. The 8 grams per litre of dosage do not show at all, the wine tastes dry and savoury with a mineral grip that is extremely appetising. It's a wine that would also age very well.
