The 2009 'Cristal' is a completely stunning Champagne which impresses with its polish, complexity, weight and silky mousse. This is intense, yet refined and offers striking aromatics of green papaya, biscuit, tangerine rind and Meyer lemon accents. There are rich flavors of lemon rind, Bartlett pear, kumquat, brioche and Gravenstein apple. The gorgeous, silky texture and rich, polished mouthfeel contribute to an absolutely awesome drinking experience. Overall this is a simply gorgeous bottle of Champagne, which looks to have exceedingly long aging potential. (Best 2016-2035) - December, 2016 (OB)
