winemaker's notes:

The Ultimate Champagne for Toasting successes, this luxurious elixir is highly sought after. Cristal’s signature bottle clearly shows off the lustrous pale gold appearance of this wine. An intensely floral bouquet fragrant with almonds, hazelnuts and wild flowers is complemented by a touch of acidity to mark a finish of elegant persistence. Light and fresh, this is undoubtedly a Champagne of admirable magnitude with time.

A Customer - Bishop, California
An Exellent Choice, well balanced and just right for the occasion. Now I know why all those rap moguls and artist load up on this drink, it is simply incredible.

A Customer - Carmel, Ca
OUTSTANDING, Louis Roederer 1997 Cristal Brut is one of the finest drinks you can consume. Its taste is uncomparable to any other. I had purchased this drink at www.wine.com/ a remarkable price along with fast shipping.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
Organically Grown Grapes
