Cristaline Citronnade

Cristaline is an iconic French brand of bottled water and fruit-based beverages, founded in 1992 by Pierre Papillaud. It has become one of the most widely consumed bottled water brands in France and neighboring Belgium, known for its focus on affordability and local sourcing through a network of dozens of different springs. This particular Citronnade product is a fruit juice-infused spring water variation, combining natural water with lemon flavoring, positioned as a refreshing and simple alternative to carbonated sodas.

The brand is manufactured exclusively in France, utilizing its extensive network of bottling plants situated near the natural water sources. This logistical strategy helps the brand maintain a lower carbon footprint and competitive pricing. Since its inception, the brand has remained under the control of its founding entity through various corporate evolutions.

Cristaline is owned by the Roxane Group (Groupe Alma), a major player in the European mineral water market. The company is headquartered in France and continues to operate as an independent entity specializing in water and soft drinks, including other well-known brands like Saint-Yorre and Thonon. The Belgian market is primarily served by exports from the French production sites or through the group's regional distribution channels.
