Cristal 2004 - Famous & celebrated champagne produced by the Louis Roederer House.

This illustrious champagne is one of the most sought after champagnes in the market, used by actors, musicians and sports people alike and is now established as one of the most fashionable and highly desired of all Champagne brands. First created in 1876 for the TSAR, this is a Champagne at its finest, as inspired today as it has always been, the embodiment of elegance and purity.

The Cristal range is created using the most stringent selection criteria and is produced from only the finest plots of Louis Roederer’s vineyards in the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs including Ay, Avize and Mesnil-sur-Oger.

Cristal 2004 – a highly seductive vintage reminiscent of the classic 1988 – has a slender, almost living freshness. Highly contemporary in its harmony and immediate seductiveness, it nevertheless remains first and foremost a great classic of northern Champagne, combining freshness, energy and an almost chalky mineral quality. The Cristal hallmarks are evident: purity, precision and the unique harmony of flavors associated with the subtle power of our historic vines, located on the finest Champagne Grand Cru terroirs.

“Brilliant yellow color displaying light amber nuances, combined with an ultra-fine, persistent, soft effervescence. There’s an intense, highly expressive bouquet on the first nose! The aromatic elegance and precision of Chardonnay is apparent: white fruit, sweet pollen, fine citrus fruit and very pure minerality. After a few minutes, the aromas move on to more confit, lightly grilled hints. The bouquet is rich and sweet, almost generous, remaining precise and impeccably refined. The bite in the mouth is full and creamy, revealing an incredible concentration of juicy fruits: yellow peach, apricot, mango and others. This silky, meaty concentration, which is both dense and soft – and typical of great pinot noirs – is immediately combined with a sophisticated touch of acidity, bringing the wine alive with minerality. The overriding impression is one of a true harmony of flavors, senses and silky textures...Absolute sensuality.” – Jean Baptiste Lécaillon, Cellar Master.

In 1876 Tsar Alexander II of Russia, fearing that a bomb hidden behind the conventional green glass of a Champagne bottle might be used to assassinate him, ordered a Champagne to be produced in a clear glass bottle and without the traditional bell-shaped base. In order to ensure that this bottle shape was able to cope with the pressure, it had to be manufactured from lead crystal, and hence became known as Cristal
