So much tart apple, I thought it was schramsberg! A little toasted almond and brioche in there as well. Super enjoyable! — 2 months ago

NV. Gorgeous coloring. Hints of frontal palate dirtiness that dissipate quickly in the mouth as it transitions to florals and that Philipponnat-styled acidity. Such a great table-setter. 10.17.25. — 3 months ago

Poured as a night cap. Philipponnat’s Eau-de-Vie de Marc de Champagne “Clos des Goisses” (say that five times fast!) pours almost colorless with high viscosity. There are powerful notes of fresh Bosque pear and exotic spices with a great body and long finish. Bangin’! — a month ago

9.1

The Hébrart domaine is located right on the Marne, in the village of Aÿ, catty-corner to Philipponnat. Their 1er cru Rosé, NV is a 60/40 mix of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, aged in INOX (with a small portion of the PN added as vin rouge aged in barrique). What’s most important, is that it’s delicious.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The wine pours a very pretty pink color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe strawberry, raspberry, lemon, pink flowers, marzipan and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ with a lovely, creamy texture. Serious enough for the nerds; seriously gluggable for the revelers. Disgorged April of 2023. Drink now. — a month ago

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!!! — 7 months ago
