Louis Roederer Cristal 2005 is a vintage, prestige-cuvée Champagne produced by Louis Roederer in Reims, France. Cristal is the pinnacle of Louis Roederer`s Champagne production and is only made in the finest vintages. First commissioned by Tsar Alexander II to create a special, personal cuvée, Cristal was reintroduced by the house in 1924 as the first prestige-cuvée Champagne. On the exceptional 2005 vintage. "Fabulous nose with great blood orange intensity neatly framed by brioche. On the extravagant and concentrated palate this has whiplash vibrancy yet somehow marries this to a taut elegance. Extremely long finish with dangerous freshness for this age! Literally takes your breath away." James Suckling, 2023
