Cristal 2008 is deep, precise, and enduring, shaped by a dry, cool vintage celebrated for balance and longevity.
The bouquet opens with candied citrus, pear, almond, and delicate toast. On the palate, it is taut and concentrated, driven by chalky minerality and brilliant acidity.
The finish is long, pure, and saline — a masterful Cristal built to age gracefully.
OMG. A masterpiece. A benchmark. Tight and structured, with fantastic precision and structure. Sharp line of acidity throughout, with fine and tight bubbles. Pineapple, lemon, white apricot, seashell, biscuit, blanched almond and a hint of chamomile. Vertical and mineral. Dosage 7g/L. Special release in magnum and aged two or three years longer on the lees than the normal bottling. I can’t go higher than this. Even better in a few years.

Cristal is crafted only in exceptional years, from the finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, sourced from Roederer’s most prized vineyards. Its brilliance lies in balance: ripe fruit and citrus framed by chalky minerality, carried on a texture of remarkable finesse.
