Reciprocal

A refined and beautifully balanced vintage, showing Cristal Rosé at its most precise. Fresh red berries, citrus peel and delicate floral notes open the wine, followed by subtle savoury complexity. The palate is poised and linear, with fine mousse and a crystalline, chalk-driven finish. 2014 brings tension and elegance rather than weight, making this a particularly composed and age-worthy release with a long, graceful evolution ahead.

A “weather waltz”, and one with clear, sharp contrasts! The spring was sunny and dry and ended with a heatwave in June; summer was autumnal, cool and rainy; September was hot, sunny and very dry… weather we would usually associate with the month of August. The ‘key’ to the vintage lay in the soils as well as in the work carried out by the winegrowers. The good drainage properties of the chalk on the lower-middle part of the hillside helped us greatly by allowing the excess water from the summer to drain away which limited any excess vigour in the vines. These factors were complemented by our increasingly eco-friendly viticultural practices which allow us to take our quest for grapes of perfect balance and maturity even further.
