1990 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Champagne Methuselah 
Cristal is a remarkably balanced and refined champagne whose length is inimitable. It has a silky texture and fruity aromas, complemented by a powerful mineral quality with white fruit and citrus notes. Cristal is a wine that keeps well: it can be conserved for over twenty years without losing its freshness and character.

Produced uniquely during the best years, when the Chardonnay (around 40%) and Pinot noir (around 60%) grapes have attained perfect maturity, Cristal is aged for 6 years in Louis Roederer’s cellars and left for a further 8 months after dégorgement.

Our House’s most famous wine was created in 1876 to satisfy the demanding tastes of Tsar Alexander II. The emperor asked Louis Roederer to reserve the House’s best cuvée for him every year. He was particularly fond of the House’s wine. To distinguish this cuvée, this exceptional champagne came in a flat-bottomed, transparent lead-crystal bottle. The new brand was named after this precious material, which is particularly transparent and luminous.

This is the King of all bottles of Cristal! With only 2000 Methuselahs produced this bottle has been one of the most sought after bottles of Cristal. These are becoming an endangered species!

Rating RP97 - The Louis Roederer 1990 Cristal is awesome! A classic of power and finesse richness and delicacy it may be the greatest Cristal I have ever tasted! One caveat. Champagne more than any wine in the world is extremely vulnerable to heat. Pierre Rovani has already tasted a cooked bottle of this wine. RP
