Other Info:

Roederer is one of the largest remaining independent Champagne Houses, owned by the same family since it was founded in 1776. In the period 1832 to 1870, under the direction of Louis Roederer, the house gained top ranking worldwide with sales of 2,500,000 bottles (10% of Champagne’s total production), including 390,000 bottles in the United States and 660,000 bottles in Russia where Louis Roederer champagne was an outstanding success. In 1876, Louis Roederer II created the Cristal Cuvée for Tsar Alexander II who nominated Louis Roederer as the official supplier to the Imperial Court of Russia in 1909. Roederer’s wines are always rich, elegant and well rounded.

The jewel of Roederer is Cristal, created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II. This is champagne at its finest and has been called the embodiment of elegance and purity. Cristal is made according to the strictest criteria, based on a drastic process of selection applying to the vintage, the cru, the village, the grapes and finally the wines. Only Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from the House’s 10 most celebrated crus are used in the production of this legendary cuvée.
