Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 2015 marries ripe lemon and yellow plum fruit with creamy, pastry-like richness, all driven by a cool spine of chalky minerality and tightly coiled energy. The mousse is ultra-fine yet vibrant, giving lift to notes of citrus zest, subtle spice and mint, while the firm structure and long, stony finish reveal a more serious, ageworthy side to this warm, concentrated vintage.

Cristal Brut by Louis Roederer is the house’s historic prestige cuvée, created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II and bottled in its signature clear, flat-bottomed glass. Produced only in great vintages from estate-grown old vines across top Grand Cru chalk soils, it typically blends around 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, aged many years on lees to yield a Champagne famed for its tension, silky depth, and remarkable longevity.
