Louis Roederer, a wonderful family-owned Champagne house founded in 1776, has a tremendous reputation for quality. Since 1979 it has been run by Jean-Claude Rouzaud. 80% of the firm’s needs are supplied by their own, magnificent, 444 acres of vineyard holdings.
Louis Roederer’s Pinot Noir based non-vintage Brut Premier is powerful and richly-honeyed and is far superior to most other producers’ vintage Champagnes.
In 1876 Louis Roederer created the now famous Cristal, at the request of Alexander II. This once intensely sweet wine is now one of the most luscious, deeply flavoured champagnes available, with the ’88, ’89 and ’90 among the greatest Cristals ever released.
Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 1999
$819.00
One of the finest Champagnes I have ever brought to my lips, the 1999 Cristal bursts from the glass with fresh hazelnut and apple scents. Elegant, deep, and silky-textured, this medium to full-bodied beauty is immensely concentrated, pure, packed with apple flavors, and astoundingly long in the finish. Louis Roederer does not display a disgorgement date or consumer friendly lot number on its non-vintage Brut. This is regrettable as it has consistently been one of the finer bottlings in this category.
