Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Brut 1995 - 0,75l

Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 1995 is an iconic prestige Champagne, created from a vintage blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from some of the house’s finest Grand Cru vineyards. First made in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia, Cristal remains one of Champagne’s most celebrated cuvées, renowned for its elegance, precision and remarkable ageing potential.

Tasting Notes
Now mature, the 1995 vintage displays a luminous golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The bouquet is likely to reveal layered aromas of toasted brioche, hazelnut, dried white flowers and ripe orchard fruit, complemented by subtle honeyed and mineral notes developed through extended bottle ageing. On the palate, Cristal 1995 combines creamy texture with refreshing acidity and impressive depth. Mature flavours of baked apple, citrus peel, almond and pastry are balanced by a refined mineral finish. Properly stored bottles may continue to offer a rewarding experience, although this is a vintage to enjoy now for its complexity and evolution.

Production
Cristal is produced from carefully selected Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown in Louis Roederer’s finest Champagne vineyards, where chalk-rich soils support both finesse and freshness. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified parcel by parcel, allowing the house to preserve the character of each site. The wine is traditionally aged on its lees in the bottle before disgorgement, giving the 1995 vintage its developed texture, complexity and fine mousse.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 10–12°C in a tulip-shaped Champagne glass to encourage the wine’s aromas to unfold. Decanting is generally not necessary and may reduce the wine’s delicate effervescence, though a very gentle transfer to a Champagne-friendly decanter can be considered for a mature bottle showing sediment or particularly evolved aromas. Pair with oysters, lobster, scallops, poached fish, poultry with creamy sauces or refined dishes featuring truffle and mushrooms.

Producer
Founded in Reims in 1776, Louis Roederer is one of Champagne’s leading independent and family-owned houses.

Its flagship Cristal cuvée, first created for the Russian imperial court, has become a benchmark for prestige Champagne and is celebrated for its balance of richness, precision and longevity.
