The most famous of our Maison's wines was born in 1876 to satisfy the demanding taste of Tsar Alexander II. The emperor asks Louis Roederer to reserve for him every year the best cuvée of the Maison, which he particularly appreciates. To accentuate the singularity of this exceptional champagne, a flat-bottomed crystal bottle will be specially created. It will bear the name of this precious material, which enhances its transparency and brightness.

Of notable balance, Cristal champagne is linear, with an absolutely unique persistence in the mouth. The velvety consistency reveals aromas of white fruits and citrus fruits, supported by a wonderful minerality. Cristal champagne is a wine that ages beautifully. It can be stored for more than twenty years without losing any of its freshness and character.

Elaborated only in the "great vintages", when the maturity of the Chardonnay (about 40%) and Pinot Noir (about 60%) that compose it is perfect, Cristal champagne evolves on the yeasts for 6 years and rests 8 months after disgorgement.
