1996 Champagne

This is one of the most impressive Dom Prignons ever produced, with many wine critics claiming it is even richer than the awesome 1990. This delicious Champagne will age for decades to come, but why deny yourself the sumptuous, yeasty fruit and vanilla pod aromas now. Drink now - 2020.

Aptly-named, L’Exceptionelle shows the heights to which Legras can ascend, helped no doubt by old Chardonnay vines and the outstanding 1996 vintage. Pears, lemon zest and white flowers greet the nose, then the palate assumes a richly honied texture, with a satisfying mineral mirror-bright acidity providing an underlying tension and cerebral satisfaction that will be resolved harmoniously on the finish.

The jewel of the House of Louis Roederer is Cristal, created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II. This is champagne at its finest, as inspired today as it has always been, the embodiment of elegance and purity. Cristal is made according to the strictest criteria, based on a drastic process of selection applying to the vintage, the cru, the village, the grapes and finally the wines. Only Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from the House's 10 most celebrated crus are used in the production of this legendary cuve.
