Initially quite restrained on the nose, the bouquet unfurls to reveal white flowers, stone and citrus fruit and a hint of brioche. He palate has a nervy tension and salinity that is the mark of this great cuvee. Give it a couple of years in the cellar to fill out its broad frame.

Pure hedonism, this legendary cuveé created for Tsar Alexander II merits its iconic status. Only the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from Roederer's ten most celebrated Crus are used in this exceptional Champagne. Opulent and complex, it's a veritable cornucopia of sumptuous honey, hazelnut and apple flavours and creamy biscuit notes. A luminous and lyrical Cristal with great ageing potential. Indulge in the ultimate luxury and relish this exquisite Champagne with lobster and caviar or other decadent fare.

It is a rich, powerful and decadently hedonistic wine with soft aromas of cream, brioche and oak. All components herald a glorious palate and a lovely explosion of ripe peaches. This wine has a real weight and a wonderful roundness that shouts about this ripe vintage, and a sensationally long finish with real oomph that seduces and excites.
