As stately as I expected it to be (can one really expect anything less of a wine as legendary as Cristal in one of Champagne's most celebrated vintages?) glinting pale gold, the color of a freshly-minted coin. The 2002 Champagne Cristal Brut Millésimé is imbued with soaring notes of pear and smoke, brioche and chalk. Disgorged in 2009, this is a precise wine—it has a sort of crystalline weightless density, with fruit buoyed by a fine mousse, and edgy saline-tinged minerality emerging at the close. 10 grams dosage.

"You must be as precise as a Swiss watchmaker, I tell my team," our host, M. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Chef de Caves at Roederer stressed. Precision in spades. — 9 years ago

Classy wine. Firm tannins structure. Masculine style with bright acidity. Tobacco, coffee, spices, and black fruits interweave together. Nice. — 9 years ago

A real paradox, loaded with toast, focussed like a laser. Geoffroy said it was a vintage of dehydration with concentrated sugar & acid. At The Relais & Chateau vertical of Dom Perignon with chef de cave Richard Geoffroy. — 10 years ago

Greg Brewer and Diatom are back with a vengence with the 2013 Santa Rita Hills chardonnay. After a pause, shall we say, in 2012, this new vintage has that crisp acidity and incredible balance that makes this wine unique. Easily has a decade of development ahead of it, it's remarkable what Greg can do with this stuff. Fantastic. — 9 years ago
