A radiant, crystalline Champagne of exceptional precision and depth. The bouquet opens with delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, and crushed almonds, evolving toward brioche and chalky minerality — the unmistakable signature of Cristal. On the palate, it’s pure energy: vibrant and taut, yet silky and harmonious, unfolding layers of citrus, green pear, hazelnut, and subtle saline notes. The finish is remarkably long, leaving a lingering impression of freshness and refinement.
Crafted only in exceptional vintages, Cristal 2008 reflects a perfect harmony between power and grace. Made from around 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay sourced exclusively from Louis Roederer’s Grand Cru vineyards, it was aged over a decade in the cellars to achieve its legendary balance, finesse, and depth.
Grape Varieties: Approximately 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay
