Rare wine has fascinated investors for centuries. Lifelong experience in this field is of great importance. Investing in wine is very complex, but done right, it can prove to be a very lucrative business. Over the past three decades, fine wine has demonstrated itself to be one of the top-performing assets, achieving a remarkable compound annual growth rate of 10%. 
Prices for rare wines have increased by over 100% in recent years. This demand is expected to increase even further as more wine lovers develop in the Asian region. The global wine market was valued at USD 339.53 Billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 456.76 Billion by 2028. 
 
Corked wine continues to mature after bottling and benefits from an additional price increase over time due to a higher intrinsic value. 
 
Putting a Rare Wine portfolio together is a journey that never really ends. However, what the right composition should look like is just the beginning. It is important to stay informed about the latest trends in order to make appropriate sales and additions to our selection. 
 
Key factors for wine as an investment: 
 
Region 
Choosing the right portfolio mix is similar to choosing on the stock market. We should avoid putting all our eggs in one basket and therefore diversify our portfolio across different wine regions. To this end, we should always keep a few classics from regions such as Piedmont, Tuscany, Bordeaux and Champagne in the portfolio. But it is also important to diversify not only across regions but also across countries and to include wines from Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and Austria, for example. 
 
Quality 
The first step towards success has been taken with the selection of wine regions for our portfolio. Now comes the main part of the research. Not every producer within these selected regions maintains the same quality standards. It is estimated that only 0.1% of the world's wine production reaches investment quality. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to select award-winning wines from top producers. 
 
Storage 
It is not enough to store carefully selected wines in an ordinary cellar if you expect serious returns. The importance of professional storage of wine is the key requirement to obtain world-renowned quality labels. Many auction houses won't even accept the wine if they feel that the storage requirements have not been met.

Why Louis Roederer? 
 
Tradition

Prestige 
One of Louis Roederer's most famous and prestigious cuvées is Cristal. Cristal is a vintage champagne created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia. It is considered one of the finest and most luxurious champagnes in the world. The grapes for Cristal come from the estate's own vineyards, and the wine is typically a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. 
 
Sustainability 
Louis Roederer is also known for its commitment to organic and biodynamic farming practices in its vineyards. The house places great emphasis on producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of their vineyards. 
 
Variety 
In addition to Cristal, Louis Roederer produces a range of other champagnes, including Brut Premier, Vintage Brut, and Brut Nature, among others. 
 
Quality 
The house consistently receives praise for its champagnes and is highly regarded in the world of sparkling wines for their quality and elegance. 
 
Why Cristal Rosé 2012? 
Louis Roederer produces a highly regarded rosé champagne as part of its portfolio. A notable rosé champagne from Louis Roederer is Cristal Rosé. Here are some key points about Cristal Rosé: 
 
Cristal Rosé 
Cristal Rosé is an extension of the famous Cristal line, known for its exceptional quality and prestige. Like the white Cristal, Cristal Rosé is a vintage champagne, meaning it is made from grapes of a specific year. 
 
Blend 
Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé is typically made from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. The exact blend can vary from vintage to vintage as the house strives to capture the unique characteristics of each growing season. 
 
Quality and Prestige 
Cristal Rosé, like its white counterpart, is known for its outstanding quality, complexity, and elegance. It is often regarded as one of the finest rosé champagnes in the world. 
 
Aging 
After initial production, Cristal Rosé undergoes an aging process in the cellar. This maturation process contributes to the development of flavors and aromas, adding depth and richness to the champagne. 
 
Ratings 
The 2012 vintage received high ratings, with 98 points from Robert Parker and 99 points from James Suckling. Such accolades speak to the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of the champagne. 
 
Why Cristal 2008 &amp; 2012? 
Exclusivity

Amp up the quality and extravagance and tone down the supply, and you have Cristal, even in magnum bottles that offer better aging potential. Cristal is a favorite among celebrities, the young and beautiful, and its high consumption has historically led to solid returns for investors. 
 
Limited Production 
Cristal is produced in a quantity of approximately 400,000 bottles per vintage, and there is by no means a balance between supply and demand. The 2008 and 2012 vintages are fantastic years in Champagne. Louis Roederer has presented impressive ratings for its 2008 Cristal vintage, marking it as one of the best Cristal vintages of all time (100 Parker). The 2012 vintage also received top ratings, with 98 points.
