Cristal was created in 1876 at the request of Alexander II. Produced uniquely during the best years when the grapes have reached ultimate maturity. Cristal is a blend of Grands Crus from the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs. The wine is aged for 6 years in the cellars and left for a minimum of 8 months after disgorging to attain the perfect maturity. The dosage is 8 g/l.
