Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé 2002 i gaveæske

Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé 2002 is one of the house’s most celebrated prestige cuvées, crafted only in exceptional years and presented here in a gift box. Made from Grand Cru fruit and shaped by Roederer’s meticulous approach to winemaking, it captures both the finesse of Champagne and the depth that has made Cristal a symbol of refinement since its creation for royalty in the 19th century.

Tasting Notes
Cristal Rosé 2002 shows a delicate salmon-pink hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is layered and expressive, opening with red berries such as wild strawberry and raspberry, followed by floral notes, subtle spice, and a refined hint of toasted pastry. On the palate, it is both precise and generous, combining the creamy texture and red-fruit richness of Pinot Noir with the fresh, mineral drive of Chardonnay. The finish is long, silky, and nuanced, with lingering brioche and woodland berry notes. This vintage has excellent aging potential and will continue to gain complexity over many years.

Production
The wine comes from some of Champagne’s finest Grand Cru vineyards in Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs, where chalk-rich soils bring freshness, minerality, and structure. The blend is 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay, with a portion of the Pinot Noir vinified as still red wine to create the rosé style and add depth. After fermentation, the wine aged for 6 years on the lees in Louis Roederer’s cellars, followed by an additional 8 months in bottle after disgorgement. This long élevage is key to the wine’s fine mousse, complexity, and seamless balance.

Food & Serving
Cristal Rosé 2002 is an excellent match for refined dishes such as lobster, scallops, sushi, truffled poultry, or delicately prepared veal. It also pairs beautifully with sashimi, pigeon, or berry-based desserts that echo its red-fruit character. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short period in the glass can help the wine unfold.

Producer
Founded in Reims in 1776, Champagne Louis Roederer remains one of the great independent Champagne houses, known for its focus on estate-grown fruit and exacting vineyard work. The house is particularly revered for Cristal, first created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II, and for setting a benchmark in precision, purity, and longevity. Roederer’s reputation for excellence is built on both tradition and innovation, with Cristal Rosé standing among its most admired achievements.
