Comment

The most famous wines of the Roederer house was born in 1876 to satisfy the demanding taste of Tsar Alexandre II. The emperor asks Louis Roederer that the best vintage in the house is reserved for him each year, which he particularly appreciates. To accentuate its singularity, this exceptional champagne will be packaged in a flat -bottom crystal bottle. It will therefore bear the name of this precious material, exalting its transparency and its light. Developed only during "big years", when the maturity of Chardonnay (around 40%) and Pinot Noir (around 60%) which compose it is perfect, crystal ages 6 years in the cellar and rests 8 months after disgorgement.

Tasting

Remarkable by its balance, Cristal is a sleek champagne whose length in the mouth remains unrivaled. Its silky texture reveals aromas of fruits supported by mineral power from which soar notes of white fruits and citrus fruits. Crystal is a guard wine. It can be kept for more than twenty years without losing its freshness and its character.
