Created as the rosé expression of the house’s iconic Cristal cuvée, it combines the depth of Pinot Noir with the freshness and precision of Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePale rosé in colour, with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose reveals strawberry and raspberry alongside delicate floral notes, spice and hints of toast. On the palate, ripe red-fruit character meets Chardonnay’s lively freshness, supported by mineral detail and a poised, structured texture. The finish is long and silky, with nuances of wild berries and brioche.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe blend is 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards. The Pinot Noir comes largely from the Montagne de Reims, while the Chardonnay is from the Côte des Blancs; a portion of the Pinot Noir is vinified as red wine to give the Champagne its colour and added depth. Following careful vinification, the wine spends six years on its lees in Roederer’s cellars, then a further eight months in bottle after disgorgement. Its structure and balance give it considerable potential to develop further with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled, around 10–12°C, in a tulip-shaped Champagne glass. Its red-fruit character and depth pair beautifully with lobster, langoustine, delicate game birds or salmon, and it can also be enjoyed on its own for a special occasion. Decanting is generally unnecessary; allow the wine a few minutes in the glass to open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in Reims in 1776, Louis Roederer is one of Champagne’s leading independent houses, known for its vineyard-focused approach and carefully crafted prestige cuvées. Cristal was created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II, and its rosé counterpart carries that legacy into a particularly rare, vintage-only expression. The house’s emphasis on Grand Cru fruit and extended cellar ageing has helped establish Cristal among the region’s most sought-after Champagnes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louis Roederer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252043010385,"sku":"FW-4746","price":803.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/cristal_ros_gb_5.png?v=1783442906","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/louis-roederer-cristal-rose-2009-i-giftbox","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
