Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Vintage 2009 - 3 liter

Champagne

In 1876, Tsar Alexander II, already a great lover of Louis Roederer's cuvées, asked Louis Roederer to "push the exercise even further" to develop, for his personal use, a unique cuvée by its bottle and its quality. Louis Roederer then proposes to make an exceptional white crystal bottle in which he elaborates the best selection of vines of 7 grands crus of his domain. This cuvée, made only in the "big" years when the maturity of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir allow to reach a subtle balance, is the first prestige cuvée of Champagne.
