In 1876, Tsar Alexander II was already a great fan of Louis Roederer's champagne & he asked Louis Roedererto'goonestepfurther' & produce, forhis own personal consumption, a unique wine in quality & bottle. Louis Roederer offered to create an exceptional white crystal bottle to house the best selection from the 7 finest vineyards of his estate. This wine was only produced in the years when the ripeness of the Chardonnay & Pinot noir enabled a subtle, precise balance. The wine is the region's most prestigious. An intense, delicate wine that combines cocoa, sugared flowers, finely toasted hazelnuts & citrus fruits. A silky & flavoursome texture with explosions of fruit, chocolate & caramel.
