Created only during remarkable vintages, the Cristal cuvée is a subtle blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, aged for a minimum of six years in cellar before resting for an additional eight months after disgorging. Unquestionably, the Cristal vintage is the flagship wine of Louis Roederer, created almost a century ago, in 1876, to satisfy the refined tastes of Tsar Alexander II.
