Top 10 Prestige "Tete de Cuvee" Champagnes 2009

Champagne Philipponnat
Clos des Goisses
1999 Brut

This prestigious vintage Champagne is made from mostly Pinot Noir, which is blended with a lesser amount of Chardonnay. What makes this label unique is that all the grapes used to make the wine were grown in a single walled-in vineyard: The Clos des Goisses. Lightly dosed and showing a lively, noticeably mineral character, this amber-tinted Champagne exudes fruit jam scents with hints of rose petal, sandalwood and almonds. A fleshy palate displaying honey, aniseed, almond and old brandy flavors follows the aromatics. Pairs well with mushrooms, cheese and caviar.

Rating: 17.5/20
Price: $155
