Tasting Notes
Vinous 95
The 2000 Cristal is gorgeous. Open-knit, creamy and totally seductive, the 2000 is a charmer. There are no hard edges or angular contours in this supple, open-knit Champagne. A gentle touch of reduction lingers on the close. The 2000 is an absolute delight today. It was a very wet, stormy year with slow ripeness, Lecaillon explains. It was the most difficult Cristal I had blended up until that time, as the wines kept changing prior to blending. Dosage was 10 grams per liter. Disgorged: 2007.
