Description
A superb accompaniment to fish, such as poached or grilled fish due to the very dry character of this extra Brut Cuvée. Its dryness contrasts well with the richness of poultry like capon. An even bolder match can be made with caviar or very spicy dishes like Indian Tandoori.
Founded in Champagne since the 16th century, the Philipponnat family began producing champagne wines during the Second Empire. The house experienced a boom from 1910, which was confirmed in 1935 by the acquisition of Clos des Goisses. The vineyards of the Philipponnat house are located in various villages, in the heart of the Premiers et Grands Crus of the region. The Clos des Goisses, a hill of five hectares facing south, stands out from other plots for the exceptional quality of its vines.
TASTING NOTES
At sight: clear and pale gold, with fine bubbles forming a persistent ring. On the nose: initial fruitiness with hints of peach, accompanied by aromas of pastries, almonds, and apricot jams. On the palate: fresh and creamy with pastry notes and a spicy finish.
