Champagne Cristal Brut 2016

Der Cristal zeigt wie immer im Bouquet feine Röstnoten, die an kräftig getoastetes Brioche erinnern, auch Mandeln, etwas Waldhonig und reifer Apfel. Am Gaumen zeigt sich knackige Williamsbirne, viel Aprikose und eine dekadent cremige Art. Unglaublich charmant, etwas kräftiger in der Perlage. Das steht dem Cristal mit Flaschenreife ideal. Ein großartiger Champagner und verdiente Prestigecuvée! 98+/100

Parker über: Champagne Cristal Brut

The 2016 Cristal is a taut, incisive rendition of this benchmark bottling, unwinding in the glass with youthfully reserved aromas of citrus oil, white flowers, wet stones and subtle hints of sweet, buttery pastry. Medium to full-bodied, chiseled and racy, it's almost as electric as the brilliant 2013, with serious concentration, a pure core of fruit, chalky structuring dry extract and a long, intensely mineral finish. Given its tightly wound profile, my advice is to forget it in the cellar for a few years and work on the more open, outgoing 2014 in the meantime.,,

Suckling über: Champagne Cristal Brut

This has wonderfully pure fruit aromas, such as peaches, Asian pears and golden apples, alongside lemon curd, gingerbread, chalk and jasmine. Rock salt and oyster shells follow on the palate, which is so seamless that you scarcely notice the super-fine bubbles. It’s concentrated yet gentle at the same time, with impressive resolution and integration of all components. Salty and creamy at the very-long finish. Fantastic! 58% pinot noir and 42% chardonnay. Drink or hold.,,

Jeb Dunnuck über: Champagne Cristal Brut

The 2016 Champagne Cristal is chalky and pristine, with a crystalline nature and notes of white peach, fresh citrus blossoms, and bright salinity. Tasted for the first time last year, it captures a precise and focused energy that’s unmatched. It boasts the energy and tension of 2002 and the precision of 2008. The wet-stone minerality of fresh chalk texture is profound, opening with medium body, showing pinpoint mousse, and sustaining a weightless energy through the long finish. This is not an obvious wine on opening, but it is by far one of my favorite wines of the year. It is going to require some patience, but it is worth stashing away and should have fantastic longevity. Drink 2027-2050.

Falstaff über: Champagne Cristal Brut

Helles Goldgelb, silberfarbene Reflexe, feines, anhaltendes Mousseux. Zarte Nuancen von frischen Limetten, weiße Tropenfrucht, Blütenaromen, ein Hauch von grünem Apfel, vermittelt kühle, attraktive Frische. Straff, schon im Antrunk voll kreidiger Salinität, engmaschig, Noten von Weingartenpfirsich, sehr lebendig, zitroniger Touch, verfügt über Länge und Potenzial, salzig im Nachhall, ein komplexer Speisenbegleiter mit sicherem Entwicklungspotenzial. Wird sich in die Serie der großen kühlen Jahre wie 2002, 2008 und 2012 nahtlos einreihen.

The Wine Independent über: Champagne Cristal Brut

The 2016 Cristal is a blend of 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay with 7 grams per liter of dosage. No malo-lactic was performed here, and 31% of the base wines were aged in French oak. The nose begins with bright red berry notes of fresh raspberries and strawberries before opening out to a complex undercurrent of saffron, white chocolate, talc, baker’s yeast, and emerging wafts of citron blossom and pear tart. The palate is very dry and spicy, not needing even a touch more sweetness thanks to the abundance of ripe berry and citrus flavors, delivering beautifully knit acidity and typically tiny, persistent bubbles. It finishes with notes of effervescent chalkiness and saffron flowers, leaving you reaching for another sip.,,

Decanter über: Champagne Cristal Brut

Cristal 2016 represents a return to purity and classicism for this cuvée, even seen through the lens of 2016's ripe, generous nature. It is discreet in youth, cloaking its ripeness in long, chalky, stony energy. Gentle mandarin, pale apricot and raspberry fruit sit under slowly maturing notions of floral honey and tight, smoky charm. An airy, flowing delicacy and persistence lifts this above some other expressions of this year. It's a hugely promising Cristal, likely to stand as tall as the sought-after 2012 and 2013 releases.,
