The nose is refined and layered, with white fruits, citrus, subtle floral notes, and a distinctive mineral edge.\n\nOn the palate, it is remarkably balanced and silky, with vibrant freshness, ripe fruit, and a long, precise finish. The magnum format supports especially graceful evolution, and this vintage has excellent aging potential, comfortably developing for more than 20 years while retaining its energy and detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCristal is produced only in the best years, when the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir reach ideal maturity, with a blend that is typically dominated by Pinot Noir and balanced by Chardonnay.
