Louis Roederer Cristal, the first Prestige Cuvée, was created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia. One hundred and thirty-six years later, it remains faithful to its origin' inspired by elegance, purity, and precision.
Cristal 2007 is made with 58% Pinot Noir, 42% Chardonnay - 15% wines matured in wood (oak barrels) with weekly batonnage - no malolactic fermentation.
This wine combines the strength, intensity and power of the delectably ripe Pinot Noirs which are balanced to perfection by the chalky freshness and density from the Chardonnay which forms the majority of the blend.
