In 1876, Tsar Alexander II of Russia asked Louis Roederer to reserve the House's best cuvee for him every year. Louis Roederer quickly agreed to fulfill the Tsar's request and created what became the first prestige cuvée. To distinguish the cuvée from others, Roederer had the champagne presented in a flat-bottomed, transparent, lead-crystal bottle. The new brand was named after this precious material, which is particularly transparent and luminous. Cristal is only produced in the "great" years when the ripeness of the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes enables a subtle, and precise balance. One of the very few wines ever rated 100 points!.
