Cristal: The Legendary Louis Roederer Vintage Brut

Commissioned in 1876 for the Russian Tsar Alexander II, Louis Roederer Cristal is a benchmark for prestige cuvée Champagne. It represents the pinnacle of the House’s biodynamically farmed Grand Cru vineyards. The signature clear, flat-bottomed bottle-a design born out of the Tsar's fear of assassination-remains a distinctive mark of this exceptional wine's pedigree and history.

Sommelier's Notes

• Colour: Brilliant, pale golden colour, with an exquisite, almost creamy mousse of fine bubbles.
• Aroma: A rich and deep nose, presenting a symphony of honeyed complexity, fresh lemon zest, apple tarte tatin, and a pronounced, elegant chalky minerality.
• Flavour: The palate is seamless, combining the vinous power of Pinot Noir (c. 60%) with the pure finesse of Chardonnay (c. 40%). It delivers a concentrated, yet perfectly balanced experience with a crystalline freshness that extends into a remarkably long, saline finish. A true collector's Champagne.

Food Pairing & Serving

Best enjoyed at 10-12°C (50-54°F). This Champagne is a statement piece, ideal for grand occasions or as an investment for the cellar. Pair it with the finest, most delicate ingredients.
