June 8, 2022 - Drank this side by side with the 2008 Dom Perignon, which was an incredible privilege.
The Dom Perignon was grand, but the Cristal was perfect. Very likely the best champagne that I've ever had.
On the nose clear notes of smoke, yeast and wet stone, alongside apple and citrus fruit. Chardonnay is very recognisable here, giving off blanc de blancs vibes. Incredibly structured, powerful yet clean, supple and perfectly balanced on the palate. Extremely long finish. What a treat this was.12 people found this helpful 11,445 views

6/8/22, 12:22 AM - Jord - great note. However, if you have not drank it, personally I'd reserve a perfect Champagne score for Dom Perignon Oenoteque 1971 (which is still being released, I think). As is all things, taste is a very personal thing, but I can speak from also having 3 cases of Crystal 2008, so my bets are hedged :)
