“Cristal” vintage champagne is the jewel of the House of Louis Roederer, it was a “prestige cuvee” created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II. Its great depth of favor resulted from a perfect balanced of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes grown in the House’s best vineyards.

It has to be mature on lees for six years to develop its golden appearance with lightly burnished reflections and its intense bouquet of white flowers, citrus and red fruits, followed by toasted, woody aromas that are warmer and more mature.  Tasting a Louis Roederer’s champagne, brings with it all the emotion of the work of art.

If interested please send an email with the subject line: “Winebuzz Cristal Offer” with your details and they will contact you for delivery information. You can also call Winelife Asia on (852) 8100-6327.
