Coming from an 80-hectare estate patiently built up since 1845 and today made up of 45 exceptional plots cultivated in organic farming, each new vintage of Cristal bears the mark of anchoring in this dedicated terroir, while always bringing something new to the prestigious lineage of this iconic cuvée.
Cristal 2014 continues this story written with four hands by Nature and by Man.
This new vintage is the fruit of the best of the chalk soils, where the pebbles reflect the light of the sky, and of an haute-couture winemaker’s approach implementing virtuous practices on a daily basis, such as mass selection, soft carving, long fallows and biodynamic composts.
This year again, only the best of the 45 plots has been selected to provide, in exactly the same proportions as the blend, the 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay that make up this new opus of Cristal.
A wine full of light, both evident and complex
Resulting from a generous and fully accomplished harvest, Cristal 2014 is a vintage of full sun which reveals itself around an abundant fruit and an intense chalky purity, at the point of perfect balance between maturity and freshness.
If Cristal 2015 is savored in its youth, it will be forged over time, and the path to its complete fulfillment is wide open.
A joyful beauty
In white, this new vintage gives this great Champagne wine a twirling expression of strengths and charms. Fully Crystal, intensely 2015.
