Merchant's description

The 1990 vintage in Champagne produced grapes high in sugars and acidity, which has resulted in this legendary Cristal. Ripe, deep, crystalline, with an extraordinary nose and palate. Over 30 years of bottle age have integrated all the aromas and flavours, forming a unique champagne, filled with citrus fruits, almonds, pears, marzipan, white truffles and gingerbread. The wine is perfectly mature and ready now.
