Offering up complex aromas of candied peel, warm biscuits, golden orchard fruit and toast, this perfectly preserved original disgorgement of the 1996 Clos des Goisses is medium to full-bodied, incisive but fleshy, its bright spine of vintage-typical acidity cloaked in lively fruit, and complemented by a pearly mousse. This is one 1996 Champagne that has finally arrived at full maturity. Score: 94 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2020 - 2036 30 April 2021 |

50% Pinot Noir, 50% Chardonnay. Disgorged January 2010. Dosage 4.5 g/l. Deep straw. One of the most mature noses in this collection of 1996s. Almost cheesy. Very dry finish after lots of opulence. Not that fizzy. Big and bold and with enough weight to counteract the (very considerable) acidity. Really at peak. Really builds on the finish. A champagne to drink with a meat course? Score: 18+ Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2012-2026 22 June 2016 |

One of the all time greats from Philipponnat, the 1996 Clos des Goisses captures the essence of a vintage in which both sugars and acidities were elevated. Tension, energy and salinity are the signatures. Readers who can wait on the 1996 will be rewarded with a stunning bottle of Champagne that will likely still be profound at age fifty. Disgorged February 2006. Score: 96 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2016-2046 01 March 2015 |
