Tasting Notes

The flagship 2002 Brut Clos des Goisses is simply stunning in this vintage. Seamless, ripe and beguiling, the 2002 is pure harmony in the glass. Dried pears, apricots, flowers, red berries and spices are some of the many notes that inform this towering, aristocratic wine. At once vertical yet endowed with serious length, the 2002 stands out for its breathtaking balance and overall sense of harmony. Layers of fruit built to the huge, creamy finish. This is a great showing from Philipponnat. The 2002 was disgorged in June 2011. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2032.

Score: 96

One of the first showings of the 2002, this has a mercurial bouquet with citrus peel, jasmine, hazelnut, linden and dried mango, the chalkiness only emerging after five minutes in the glass. The palate has a very Burgundian personality, superb balance and poise with dried honey, honeysuckle and a touch of chalk. Great penetration on the finish, this was surely be a long-term Clos des Goisses that will amaze the next generation of champagne-lovers. Tasted March 2011.
