Vineyard The 2015 Cristal is produced from 45 historic parcels located exclusively in Grand Cru villages, where the vines grow on deep chalk soils. Under the stewardship of Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, these vines are farmed bio-dynamically, resulting in fruit with an extraordinary level of concentration and crystalline purity.

Wine A monumental vintage of Cristal that defines liquid light. The 2015 vintage was a warm year that produced fruit of rare intensity. It offers a majestic bouquet of candied citrus, white flowers, and roasted nuts. The palate is voluminous yet incredibly focused, showing a dense, chalky texture and an endless, shimmering finish.
