2002 Louis Roederer, Cristal - Champagne - 1 Bottle (0.75L)

One bottle of Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 2002 in original gift box (slightly damaged) — one of the greatest Cristals ever produced, rated 98/100 by both Wine Advocate and James Suckling, 97+ Vinous. Created in 1876 at the personal request of Tsar Alexander II, Cristal remains the world’s most iconic prestige cuvée. Sourced exclusively from 45 biodynamically farmed plots across seven Grand Cru villages. The 2002 is a legendary vintage of extraordinary generosity and depth — honey, cocoa, hazelnuts, candied citrus, red fruit, white chocolate and Danish pastry on the nose; full-bodied, silky and concentrated with a chalky freshness that cuts through and stretches the wine to an almost infinite finish. Drinking beautifully now but will improve for decades. Bottle in perfect condition — intact label and capsule, high fill level. Stored in a professional temperature-controlled cellar.
