Champagne White

€275,00 / 75cl inc. VAT

In 2008, Cristal Roederer stands out with a remarkable straightness and a crystalline brilliance that sustains the whole with tension. The substance stretches notes of ripe citrus zest, fine brioche and a very pure chalky texture, carried by a delicate and chiselled effervescence. Perfectly in place with its first accents of evolution, this great champagne remains admirably built for aging.

Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The 2008 Cristal is a perfect wine, and Champagne simply does not get any better. This incredible wine offers a beautiful perfume of clean, crisp fruits, layers of complexity in its toasted spice and white flowers, and an utterly seamless yet powerful style on the palate. This is a rich, decadent expression of Cristal, yet it’s still crystalline and elegant, with no sensation of weight, and it just glides over the palate. Haute couture at its finest, this majestic, profound, legendary Cristal can be drunk any time over the coming 2-3 decades. Drink 2018 - 2038

About the Producer

The Louis Roederer estate is an iconic Champagne house, remaining one of the last great family-owned and independent signatures. A pioneer, the Roederer family invested early on in a vast, estate-owned vineyard, now cultivated with extreme precision in the heart of the Marne’s finest crus. From this remarkable terroir are born champagnes of impressive consistency and a refined, instantly recognizable style. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Chef de Caves, perpetuates this quest for excellence while infusing an innovative dynamic. The Louis Roederer house is distinguished by a prestigious range, whose cuvées embody elegance and complexity. Among the jewels are the Cristal Millésimé Brut and the Cristal Brut Rosé Millésimé, symbols of unparalleled craftsmanship. The Vintage Brut and the Brut Rosé Millésimé complete this offering, alongside more recent creations like the Collection 244 Brut, which testifies to the estate's spirit of innovation. More exclusive, the Coteaux Champenois "Hommage à Camille" reveals a rare parcel-based expression, elevating the diversity of the Champagne terroirs. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Louis Roederer Cristal Millésimé Brut, Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Rosé Millésimé, and Louis Roederer Vintage Brut—useful benchmarks for understanding the house's identity.
