Young but still beautiful. Better things with aging.
This rides the fence of having reductive & oxidative characteristics.
Bruised apple & pear, some apple cider, kumquats, some pineapple, tart lemon & lime zest, ginger ale, white spice-ginger that burros in the tongue w/ some heat, cream, baguette crust, limestone crumbles, saline, sea fossils, slightly bitty chalkiness, dry volcanic minerals, white flowers with greens, excellent acidity, well balanced & tensioned, polished elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds.
Photos of my October 2023 visit to Philipponnat. Clos Des Goisses which grows over the top of their facility and the view of the Cote de Blancs from the Clos Des Goisses vineyard. The best ripe and in this case unpicked vineyard fruit I’ve had was on that day in Clos Des Goisses. It wasn’t ripe when they harvested but it was perfect on the day of my visit. I would only add that I have tasted ripe vineyard fruit from all over the world. That’s how great it was!!!
