Cristal

Needs serious patience - this is a brooding, introverted Champagne that unfolds slowly but beautifully. Citrus oil and mint emerge first, then white flowers, stone fruits, and subtle pastry notes with hints of honey and wet pebbles. Lemon sorbet on the palate, but with serious vinous depth. Medium to full-bodied, layered, with chalky extract and pinpoint mousse. And it just doesn't tire in the glass. Obviously too young still, hiding plenty.
