Created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II, Cristal remains the ultimate expression of Louis Roederer's craftsmanship - an iconic champagne that balances power with elegance, intensity with finesse. The exceptional 2016 vintage showcases the perfect harmony of sun and soil, combining richly expressive Pinot Noir with finely chiselled, saline Chardonnay. Layers of white flowers, roasted citrus and ripe stone fruit unfold across a silky, vibrant palate, leading to a long, crystalline finish marked by purity and precision. Sophisticated yet effortlessly pleasurable, Cristal 2016 is a remarkable champagne of refinement, energy and enduring grace.
