Philipponnat Clos des Goisses 1999

D has ordered lots of fine wine for my upcoming wedding dinner. I am deeply grateful for that.

The problem is,my wedding isnot till end of the year; It is extremely hard to resist letting the bottles lying there alone in the cold cold chiller. We are always tempted to peak at them or even open up and savour them.

Phillipponat Clos Des Goisses 1999 is one of them!

-an elegant champagne with light straw colour.

Nose: subtle sweetness with tint of lemon, fine bubbles

Palate: toasted grain, slight mineral, peachy,ash. short to medium finishing.

good breathing : similar tasting even after 15 minutes

CDG is 70% pinot nior and 30% Chardonnay . 30% of the wine is fermanted in oak.An elegant wine which is recommended to drinkat the mature date of 2011-2024!!

Now, we have to find a few more of CDG to keep.
