Louis Roederer marks 150 years of Cristal

Louis Roederer has celebrated the 150th anniversary of Cristal with a rare tasting spanning vintages from 1995 to 2018. Champagne correspondent Giles Fallowfield heard cellar master Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon explain why salinity, chalk and an old technique revived from the 1940s are central to Cristal’s future.
