96 Vinous
The 1996 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses L.V. has reached a glorious peak of expression. Apricot, burnt sugar, spice, pastry, hazelnut and a whole range of reductive notes that have developed in bottle fill out the layers. In 1996, Clos des Goisses was still aged on cork (for both the original and L.V. releases. Over time, cork seems to given the 1996 an especially relaxed, resonant feel. Dosage is 4.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: March, 2021. (2021 - 2036) -- Antonio Galloni (Mar 2021)
Producer
Philipponnat
Amongst the few Champagne houses to still be run by a member of its founding family, Philipponnat’s history dates back over 500 years ago. Generations of both, men and women Philipponnats, have left their mark on France’s famous region. With 17-hectares of vines in Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Avenay, the plots each fall under the Premier or Grand Cru classifications. Today, under the leadership of Chairman Charles Philipponnat, the estate has seen a recent resurgence, and has gained an incredible surge in recognition for its entire portfolio. Striving to reveal the wines’ true Pinot-infused glory, Charles has worked relentlessly to instill the family’s founding values of individuality, excellence, generosity and humility in every bottle produced. He has created a successful range of intense, fresh Champagnes that are imitable for their quality and character. As the first Champagne House to include the main year used in its non-vintage blends, the dosage and the dates of disgorgement on their back labels – Philipponnat is unquestionably unique.
