Singapore Airlines (SIA) is set to become the world’s only airline to serve the legendary Cristal 2015 champagne, following an exclusive partnership with renowned French champagne house Louis Roederer.
A New Standard in Luxury
Starting 1 December 2024, Cristal 2015 will be available to passengers in Airbus A380 Suites and Boeing 777-300ER First Class cabins. Initially offered on select routes including Singapore to Delhi, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Paris, Shanghai, Sydney, and Tokyo, the champagne will rotate to other premium routes every three months.
The Essence of Cristal 2015
Cristal 2015 is crafted by cellar master Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, blending 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay sourced from 45 Grand Cru vineyards. Known for its exceptional balance, depth, and freshness, Cristal 2015 reflects Louis Roederer’s commitment to sustainable viticulture and meticulous winemaking. Its extended ageing process imparts complex flavors, earning its reputation as a timeless masterpiece.
Frédéric Rouzaud, CEO of Champagne Louis Roederer, describes the champagne as:
“A timeless champagne of supreme balance, delivering intense aromas, superb energy, and a precise, finely honed freshness. We are thrilled that Cristal 2015 has been chosen to elevate the travel experience with Singapore Airlines.”
Elevating the Travel Experience
SIA’s Senior Vice President of Customer Experience, Mr. Yeoh Phee Teik, highlights the collaboration as a reflection of the airline’s dedication to luxury:
“This partnership between two world-class brands demonstrates our commitment to delighting customers with unparalleled experiences. Exclusively offering Cristal 2015 in our Suites and First Class cabins ensures a journey of extraordinary sophistication.”
Expertly Selected for In-Flight Excellence
The airline’s globally acclaimed wine consultants meticulously selected Cristal 2015 for its exceptional qualities that endure even at cruising altitude.
Ms. Jeannie Cho Lee, the first Asian Master of Wine and a member of SIA’s wine panel, praised Cristal 2015 for its complexity:
“With notes of toasted pinenuts, crushed stones, and white flowers, it offers a crescendo of refined flavors and a lingering finish. Its impeccable balance makes it a standout champagne at 36,000 feet.”
An Exclusive Champagne Experience
Cristal 2015 will join SIA’s curated list of premium champagnes, offering Suites and First Class passengers a selection of up to three exquisite labels on each flight.
This partnership further cements Singapore Airlines’ reputation for redefining luxury travel, delivering a world-class experience that combines exceptional taste and unmatched service.
