Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Precise, finely chiselled acidity driven by Chardonnay, delivering a refreshing balance in what was otherwise a sunlit vintage.
Roundness
The warmth of 2018 lends a velvety, generous texture, with beautifully ripe stone fruit character.
Power
The dominance of Pinot Noir structures the palate with density and a confident, vinous character.
Length
A persistent, complex finish, sustained by wines matured in oak foudres.

TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with pearlescent highlights, alive with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose opens on ripe yellow stone fruits — peach, apricot, Conference pear — lifted by brioche notes and a delicate toasty character inherited from the oak foudres. On the palate, the texture is full and generous, underpinned by a precise acidity that maintains tension, before a long finish with accents of chalk and warm spice.

30%Chardonnay

Terroirs

A blend of Grand Cru and Premier Cru plots from the Montagne de Reims (Aÿ, Verzenay) and the Côte des Blancs, with 30% of the wines vinified in oak foudres to lend depth and complexity. The 2018 vintage, warm and sun-drenched, yielded grapes of exceptional ripeness, combining concentration with natural freshness.

Louis Roederer

About this house

Louis Roederer is one of the rare great Champagne houses to remain entirely independent and family-owned, led since 1978 by the Rouzaud family. Founded in Reims in 1776, the house draws on a proprietary estate of over 240 hectares to ensure complete control over quality, from vine to cellar.

Under the stewardship of Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Chef de Caves since 1994, Louis Roederer has converted part of its estate to biodynamic viticulture and refined its oak foudre élevage. It was Roederer who created Cristal in 1876, commissioned by Tsar Alexander II — a timeless jewel that remains the embodiment of Champagne excellence worldwide.

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

Its fine bubbles and silky richness pair beautifully with the light, crisp exterior and yielding cheesy centre of gougères.

Starter

Starter

The richness and depth of the Vintage 2018 marry elegantly with the noble, briny butteriness of lobster.

Main course

Main course

The structure of the Pinot Noir and the cuvée's subtle oak nuances elevate the earthy, luxurious aromas of a truffle-dressed poultry dish.
