Brut, Louis Roederer, "Cristal", 2007June 7th, 1867, Paris: It was on this historic night at Café Anglais where the famous Dîner de Trois Empereurs or "Three Emperors Dinner" took place, an event many consider the most decadent gastronomic affair ever to occur involving 16 courses paired with the world's greatest fine wines. Amongst 1847 Château Margaux, 1848 Château Lafite Rothschild, and Madeira from the 1700s, it was the inaugural debut of Louis Roederer's masterpiece, "Cristal", that stole the show.
