✨ Technical Specifications
The Louis Roederer Cristal Medallion represents the absolute pinnacle of luxury and artistic craftsmanship in Champagne. This ultra-rare release features the iconic Cristal prestige cuvée—originally created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia—encased in a breathtaking, handcrafted 24-carat gold-plated latticework designed by the designer Philippe Di Méo. Produced only in exceptional vintages and in highly limited quantities, the wine inside is a masterclass in precision. It is sourced exclusively from biodynamically farmed Grand Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne. Aged for years on its lees and further in bottle, this cuvée marries the intense, chalky minerality of Champagne's finest terroirs with an opulent, silky texture and unparalleled depth.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1776 as Dubois Père & Fils and renamed in 1833 by visionary entrepreneur Louis Roederer, Champagne Louis Roederer remains one of the rare independent, family-run prestige Champagne houses, stewarded today by the Rouzaud family. Based in Reims, the house commands over 240 hectares of premier and grand cru vineyards spread across the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne, distinguished by a profound commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture. Renowned for its masterly balance of power and finesse, Louis Roederer is globally celebrated for creating the world's first prestige cuvée, Cristal, commissioned in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia, alongside exceptional vintage Champagnes and its hallmark multi-vintage Collection cuvées.
