Description
Louis Roederer, a wonderful family-owned Champagne House founded in 1776, has a tremendous reputation for quality. In 1876 the House 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.
This is from Roederer’s Grand Cru sites with the most chalky terroir. This “solar” vintage produced very ripe fruit which translates to big concentration of red and green apple fruit, beautifully framed by the rich, biscuity, autolytic notes. Unusually Roederer decided to release the 2009 prior to the 2008 vintage as it is more generous and approachable now. Indeed the wine is drinking very well now although it has a long life ahead of it. Enjoy with cod slow-cooked in butter, fruits de mer or caviar for ultimate decadence.

Champagne
In 1668, Dom Pérignon is said to have discovered how to make sparkling wine; today his technique is used the world over, although Champagne continues to make some of the finest. France’s most northerly wine region, Champagne is now home to 15,000 growers and 290 ‘houses’. A blend of grape varieties is usually required: white Chardonnay to add fruit and elegance, and two reds – Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier – to provide body and backbone.
