Philipponnat Les Cintres 2010

Tasting Notes

100% Pinot Noir from the first pressing of grapes from just two plots of Clos des Goisses, Les Grands Cintres and Les Petits Cintres. Well-integrated oak is perceptible on the complex and powerful nose, yet intermingled with delicate and fragrant notes of pear, spices, chalk and flowers. On the palate, this is a structured, sinewy Champagne with a creamy density and seemingly tannic framework. Notes of lemon, vanilla and menthol explode on the finish. A sensational, power-driven Champagne that will benefit greatly from cellaring for five to ten years. Dosage : 4.5g/L. Disgorgement: March 2020.
