Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 2018 - Champagne, France

Created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander ii, Louis Roederer's Cristal remains one of Champagne's most celebrated cuvées, still presented in its signature clear bottle. A hot, sunny 2018 summer delivered beautifully ripe grapes, and the blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay pairs a powdery texture with lemony, saline freshness and notes of nectarine, citron and orange blossom. About Louis Roederer Founded in 1776, Louis Roederer has spent seven generations perfecting crystal-like Champagne. From 250 hectares of Grand and Premier Cru vineyards to hand-harvesting and delicate pressing, every detail honours terroir and tradition, resulting in cuvées of silken texture and rare, exquisite balance.
