2002 Louis Roederer Cristal (Case - 6/75cl)

Named for the lead-crystal bottles which harnessed the original Champagne vintages reserved for Russian Tsar Alexander II. Cristal is only produced when the grape quality is highest to ensure that every bottle is a glorious demonstration of the skill of the winemakers and the excellence of the terrior. Cristal is a wine of immense quality, with fantastic aging potential; this is even obvious in poorer vintages, but 2002 was one of the greatest years in Champagne history...
