Created for Tsar Alexander II, Cristal is the flagship cuvée of Louis Roederer. Recognizable by its clear bottle and gold label, it is a symbol of luxury. We purchase all vintages of Cristal and the even rarer Cristal Rosé, as well as the late-released Vinothèque bottlings.

Common Questions
Does the orange wrapper matter?
Yes. Cristal is bottled in clear glass, making it vulnerable to lightstrike ('skunking'). The orange wrapper protects it. Bottles with the wrapper intact are more valuable.
Is Cristal Rosé valuable?
Yes, it is produced in much smaller quantities than the Blanc and commands a much higher price.
What is Vinothèque?
These are bottles aged longer on the lees and released later by the house. They are very collectible.
Do you buy large formats?
Yes, Cristal Magnums and Jeroboams are highly prized.
Is 2008 a good vintage?
2008 is widely considered a legend and is one of the most expensive recent vintages.
Do you buy older vintages?
Yes, we look for vintages from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s.
