Description

The estate’s 1996 Cristal, from a legendary vintage, does not disappoint. Like the 1979, there are elements of austerity that will require some time to sort themselves out, yet the 1996 is an insanely beautiful Cristal loaded with floral, perfumed fruit and vibrant minerality. The wine turns delicate in the glass, yet this is a sublime, fresh Cristal that is in need of further cellaring. In 1996 Cristal is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. According to Lecaillon 1996 is a vintage that did not respond well to oak aging, so only 3% of the wine was aged in wood, while 10% of the wine saw malolactic fermentation. This bottle was disgorged in 2007 and dosage was 8 grams. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2026. 96pts

Oh, well how can this fail? A very limpid, silvery colour. The nose has opened just a little since this time last year, with a touch of brioche and a faint scent redolent of strawberries and cream. It displays stunning balance on the palate with citrus lemon, crisp apples. Its still very primal, but its the killer poise that gets you. Needs a long time, but how many are going to cellar this for a decade or more? Tasted February 2006. 95-96+pts
