2016 Cristal

Tasting notes:

The house's iconic cuvée, first created in 1876 for the Tsar of Russia, Cristal is produced from 45 exceptional plots, spread over 7 Grand Crus of the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs. Aromas of white peach, mirabelle, and plum with notes of hazelnut and roasted almonds. Precise with great concentration on the palate with subtle woody and saline notes on the finish.
