What could be more luxurious than sipping a flute of Cristal 2015 en route to your favourite destination? Thanks to an exclusive agreement with Champagne house Louis Roederer, Singapore Airlines (SIA) is the world’s only airline serving the iconic champagne.
On 1 December 2024, Cristal 2015 debuted on SIA’s Airbus A380 Suites and Boeing 777-300ER First Class cabins. Initially offered on flights between Singapore and Delhi, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Paris, Shanghai, Sydney and Tokyo, Cristal 2015 will be available to other Suites and First Class routes on a three-month rotational basis.
Celebrated for its intense flavours and delicious aroma, Cristal 2015 was meticulously crafted by cellar master Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon. To create this vintage, he blended 40% Chardonnay and 60% Pinot Noir, sustainably sourced from 45 vineyard plots across Louis Roederer’s seven Grands Crus. Cristal 2015 showcases the remarkable attention to detail involved in its creation: from Louis Roederer’s gentle and virtuous winegrowing practices to the skillful blending and prolonged cellar aging that contribute to the wine’s depth and sophistication.
“This partnership between two world-class brands demonstrates Singapore Airlines’ commitment to elevating the travel experience for our discerning customers,” says Yeoh Phee Teik, SIA’s Senior Vice President Customer Experience. “Exclusively offering a premium champagne like Cristal 2015 will delight our Suites and First Class customers, and ensures that they continue to enjoy an unparalleled, luxurious journey with us.”

Frédéric Rouzaud, chief executive officer of Champagne Louis Roederer, adds: “Cristal 2015 delivers intense and delicious aromas with superb energy and an ethereal vibration. This is a timeless champagne of supreme balance and measure, resonating with the chalkiness of its soils, bursting forth in a bracing, vertical effervescence, with an insistent, precise and finely honed freshness. We are really delighted that our iconic Cristal champagne has been chosen to be served on board Singapore Airlines.”
The airline’s world-renowned panel of wine consultants meticulously chose Cristal 2015 for its exceptional balance and depth of flavour. “Our goal is to ensure that the finest wines from the best vintages enhance the travel experience and complement the in-flight cuisine on board Singapore Airlines flights,” says SIA wine consultant Jeannie Cho Lee, the first Asian to be awarded the Master of Wine title. “Cristal 2015 is an exceptional experience, which is highly sought-after by the most demanding wine connoisseurs worldwide.”
She adds: “Its depth and impressive quality from the meticulous ageing process results in a champagne with intricate and intense flavours of toasted pinenuts, crushed stones and white flowers, coupled with a crescendo of refined flavours and a lingering, persistent finish. The quality of this wine remains prominent even at 36,000 feet, making it the perfect addition for SIA’s Suites and First Class customers.”
