  Crisp and dry with fine acidic balance, this is lively and tense. Stylistically what I'm looking for.

  Sushi Amane. My first Crystal Vinotheque. The nose is absolutely opulent - reminds me of a slightly fatter older style grand cru Burgundy, in the best way, and makes me think of BdB. The palate has more oxidation than I like however, and not of the age variety - this is Selosse type of oxidation, which is not my thing. I'd smell this all night, but I just don't love oxidation in my whites.

  First time having Vinotheque Cristal! Candied and showed a bit of Selosse-like oxidative character. Amazing bubbles

  Note de dégustation emprunté à mon ami Ben Blacksmith pour laquelle j'adhère à 100% puisque nous avons dégusté la bouteille ensemble.
  
  Couleur jaune doré aux nombreuses bulles très fine. L'effervescence est modérée. Le nez est sur la tarte au citron avec de la meringue, du beurre et un peu d'allumette. Aucune note de rancio, c'est clair et net comme nez. La bouche est tout simplement incroyable par l'ensemble qu'il présente, le terme finesse est ce qui décrit en un mot les perceptions ressenties. Finale très appréciable,.... Sublime !!!!
