(Philipponnat Champagne Brut Clos des Goisses) Straw yellow in color, this rare, complex beauty has initial terroir-driven aromas of dust, chalk, slate, and earth, followed by ginger, lemon, pink-grapefruit, pear-compote, and honeyed, yeasty notes. The perfume is soft, delicate, and complex. A silky, round, creamy entry is followed by caramel, ginger-ale, honey, vanilla, rosewater, slate, apple-pie, and strawberry flavors. It is extremely elegant and complex, with a fine, airy mousse and a precise, flawless focus. One of the greatest Champagnes on earth. The Shifting Landscape of Champagne
