Description
Jean-Baptiste, Cristal’s Cellar Master, tells me that there are two types of Cristal, this is due to Champagne’s location right on the watershed between a continental climate and a maritime climate: a continental vintage leads to Pinot Noir flourishing, whereas Chardonnay loves a maritime-dominated year. In 2007 Chardonnay flourished in a year that had a long, cool growing season. The result is a wine with wonderful purity, reminiscent of the finest blanc de blancs. You are greeted by a nose of nougat, with hints of white chocolate and just a touch of lemon. The palate is a pure, fine expression of Champagne, a tiniest hint of redcurrant that then steps aside to allow the main characters of lemon, apple and pear to come through. Harmonious and fine.
