Cristal Rose' 2000
Production
Louis Roederer uses the Méthode champenoise for their Cristal Rose' 2000 Champagne production. The blend is composed of 60% Pinot noir and 40% Chardonnay (20% of the wines vinified in oak casks with weekly batonnage). No malolactic fermentation occurs. Cristal Rose' is created using the saignée method after cold maceration that can last 5 to 8 days in the liquid phase.
Cristal Rose' 2000 ages an average of 6 years in the cellars before disgorgement. The dosagé of between 8 and 10 grams/liter is customized to complement each vintage. It rests an additional 8 months after disgorgement.
