Philipponnat Clos des Goisses Extra Brut Champagne 2013

The new release of this Champagne is impressively stylish. It comes from a vertiginous vineyard facing north across the Marne river, the soil producing a wine with intense minerality and texture that demands time to soften. So, the blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is set for further aging. Ideally, wait for this magnificent wine until 2025 [and follow through the early 2050s]. Score – 99.
