This prestige cuvée comprises approximately 40% Chardonnay and 60% Pinot Noir, aged six years in Louis Roederer's cellars followed by eight months post-dégorgement. The wine displays a luminous yellow-gold hue with persistent, fine bubbles. The bouquet reveals layered complexity: initial notes of citrus compote and candied apricots give way to vanilla, cocoa, toasted hazelnut, and subtle spice upon aeration. On the palate, a structured and energetic profile unfolds with silky richness balanced by mineral chalk and cherry freshness, culminating in a refined, lingering finish. Cristal's exceptional ageing potential, maintaining freshness and character for over two decades. This makes it an investment-worthy selection for collectors and connoisseurs. Its elegant architecture and sophisticated flavour progression exemplify why this cuvée remains synonymous with champagne excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: France\u003cbr\u003eABV: 12%\u003cbr\u003eSize: 750ml\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Champagne \u003cbr\u003eVarietal: Chardonnay 40%, Pinot Noir 60%\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louis Roederer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32191974473827,"sku":"","price":449.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/2288\/3939\/files\/Cristal.webp?v=1786518649","url":"https:\/\/www.whiskywinesake.com.au\/products\/louis-roederer-cristal-2008-champagne-750ml","provider":"Whisky Wine Sake","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
