What you will taste
Cristal was created in 1876 for a tsar who wanted a champagne no one else could have, in a clear crystal bottle. Today it remains Roederer's masterpiece, made only in fine years from the estate's best vineyards. The warm 2009 gave a generous, sunlit Cristal: baked apple, brioche and honey, with the fine, persistent bubbles of a great house. More than a decade of age has added hazelnut depth while keeping its freshness intact.
The sommelier’s note
«Serve at 10 degrees, not colder: the cold hides what you paid for. A white wine glass shows it better than a narrow flute.»
How this wine opens up
From the first pour to the last glass — follow it through the evening.
On arrival
A short rest
Give the bottle ten quiet minutes upright, then open gently: a sigh, not a pop.
