Lightly sweet white blend with notes of stone fruit, pear, and a slight citrus-acidic undertones. Excellent summer wine. — 9 years ago

This is terrific. Very fruity, easy to drink on its own. Had this in Hudson on Christmas 2015 before dinner. Jen and I both really liked it. We agree that it won't go with as wide a range of food as, say, the Clos du Bois Cabernet, but it's great before dinner, or with chocolate, and especially in the summer. — 10 years ago

The 1990 Cristal is remarkable. Polished, nuanced and light on its feet, the 1990 is all class. Citrus, orchard fruit and floral notes are wonderfully lifted throughout. A slight reductive note adds character on the finely knit finish. I can’t think of a better way to start this tasting. Simply put, the 1990 is a total rock star. Moreover, it is much more delicate than most wines from this ripe vintage. Amazingly, the 1990 tastes like it is still not ready! “Nineteen ninety was my second vintage here,” says Chef de Caves Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon. “It was ideal. The fruit was just perfect. We blocked the malolactic fermentation completely and only fermented 6-7% of our lots in oak, as opposed to the more typical 20%, in order to preserve as much freshness as possible. The wine was made by my predecessor, Michel Pansu, but I was learning. This was the first year I started working with oxygen by reducing sulfites in vinification to pre-oxidize the Chardonnay musts, as I do know, which allows me to get rid of all the unstable, oxidative compounds. With Pinot, on the other hand, you need a little bit of sulfur at crush or you lose the brilliant fruit. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, December 2018) — 7 years ago

Pleasantly surprised how yummy this was! Quite jammy, low tannins, more like blueberries than red berries. — 8 years ago
