Louis Roederer Cristal 2014 brut champagne 750ml
Everything about Louis Roederer’s Cristal says luxury, from the shimmering golden label to the deliciously sparkling champagne. Created in 1876 after Alexander II of Russia’s sommelier reached out to Louis Roederer with the mission of creating a special champagne for the Tsar, the iconic clear bottle was originally designed to soothe the Tsar’s assasination paranoia.
As one of the last great independent and family-run champagne houses, the quality of the champagne is never compromised, and this 2014 vintage has been recently disgorged to preserve the wine’s luminescent freshness and notes of candied fruits, light grains and almonds.
