About This Champagne
Louis Roederer Cristal Champagne 2016 is a refined and luminous expression of one of Champagne’s most celebrated prestige cuvées. Produced only in exceptional vintages, Cristal is crafted from carefully selected estate-grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourced from Louis Roederer’s finest vineyards, resulting in a Champagne of remarkable purity, precision and depth.
The 2016 vintage opens with elegant aromas of white peach, citrus zest, pear and delicate spring flowers, layered with notes of toasted almond, brioche, chalk and subtle spice. On the palate, it is vibrant and beautifully structured, with a silky texture, exceptionally fine bubbles and a vivid mineral core. Fresh acidity brings energy and definition, while flavors of ripe orchard fruit, lemon curd, pastry and saline minerality unfold across a long, graceful finish.
Balanced, concentrated and effortlessly sophisticated, Louis Roederer Cristal 2016 offers both immediate appeal and excellent aging potential. It is an outstanding choice for collectors, milestone celebrations, luxury gifting and fine dining, pairing beautifully with caviar, oysters, lobster, scallops, roast poultry and refined seafood dishes. A benchmark vintage Champagne, Cristal 2016 combines elegance, complexity and enduring prestige in every glass.

"From vineyards that are run organically, this iconic Champagne's latest iteration is as beautiful as ever. Textured, with a mineral undertow, the wine is just beginning to soften and show a balanced maturity."
97 Points, James Suckling
"For the warm and dry vintage this has tremendous freshness and elegance. The complex nose of citrus blossom, mint, lemon and lime zest opens up slowly as this aerates in the glass. The wine’s ample structure is still quite firm, which is a vintage characteristic, the mousse very fine but also very lively for an eight-year-old champagne. Cristal fans will love this as it is, but a year or two more in the bottle will do a lot for the very long mineral finish of this youthful masterpiece. A cuvee of 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay, picked from all 45 Cristal vineyard plots. Tasted at the Cristal vertical tasting at the champagne house on July 6th, 2023. Drink from release."
