Philipponnat, Les Cintres Vintage:2006 almost as good as LasSourced from a small plot inside the famous sun drenched Clos des Goisses in Mareuil sur A, east of Epernay, this Champagne is composed of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. The nose is very expressive, all fruit and brioche. It has spent time in oak barrels, giving a light smoky note to the full bodied, vinous palate. A magnificent freshness pervades on the long finish. Lobster seems the right choice for a Champagne of such powerful expression.
