"Cristal" Rose - a symbol of prestige and luxury, champagne, which will be a real decoration of any holiday table, or an elegant gift for any occasion! Champagne was created in 1974 in honour of two significant events: the 200th anniversary of the House of Roederer and the 100th anniversary of the establishment of "Cristal" Brut. To create a pink champagne carefully selected crop from old vines of Pinot Noir from the best vineyards Grand Cru commune Au, work on which are conducted only in an organic way. The grapes are harvested by hand. For the production of "Cristal" Rose used only the first pressing juice flowing cold maceration for 5-8 days. Malolactic fermentation in principle does not apply, thus preserving the natural acidity of the wine. Then the wine is aged on its lees for 6 years. After disgorging bottles spend another 8 months in the cellar of the winery.
Extremely wide temperature variations during the cycle, rainy winter, massive frosts in February, sunny and dry spring ending in a very dry month of September with warm, sunny days and very cold nights, the perfect conditions for a great harvest. The result was ripened grapes with an extremely high freshness. The year 1996 is to become a year that will go down in Champagne’s history books.
