Francois Bertheau, Bonnes Mares Vintage:2021 Cristal is often accessible young

Cristal is often accessible young

elegant and refined

but also some that will go down as landmarks in that history

This graceful blanc de blancs is light on its feet and bright on the palate

but the plummy fruit and spicy wood appear to be nicely integrated

Francois Bertheau, Bonnes Mares Vintage:2021 Cristal is often accessible young(from a . 34 ha parcel located in 100% terres rouges). A background hint of wood easily allows the cool and equally pure essence of red currant, plum and violet scents to be appreciated. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the tautly muscular flavors that are also shaped by relatively fine grained tannins on the balanced and lingering finale. This is a Bonnes Mares of refinement and finesse that should age well on a base of balance.
