The 1999 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses L.V. is stunning. A Champagne of soaring intensity and pedigree, the 1999 is simply magnificent. Citrus, marzipan, chamomile, baked apple tart and yellow flowers open effortlessly. The 1999 is a timeless wine. It shows some signs of age and yet remains wonderfully fresh. Its purity and finesse are just remarkable. I can't wait to taste it in finished form. Tasted à la volée, with no dosage.

A blend of 59% Pinot Noir and 41% Chardonnay, the 1999 Extra Brut Clos des Goisses L.V. reveals a complex, spicy bouquet of jasmine, flowers, smoke, guava, honey, confit orange and exotic fruit. Muscular, concentrated and beautifully tannic, it's full-bodied and has a vinous, structured mid-palate and crystalline texture, concluding with a long, toasty, pure and saline finish. This elegant, refined Champagne is the first vintage blended by Charles Philipponnat. Disgorged in March 2024 with 4.5 grams per liter dosage.

In addition, Filippona is proud of the aged Clos des Goisses. After a long period of ageing, the Champagne Côtes de la Garcia must be freed of precipitation as required and with the personal approval of Mr. Charles Philipponnat, the current head of Champagne Philipponnat. The complex and fresh taste of the Champagne Cerro Champagne gives people a wonderful enjoyment. This wine has great ageing potential, with the oldest wines dating back to the 1940s.
