Philipponnat Champagne Reserve 1999

Réserve Millésimée from Philipponnat is the ultimate expression of the grand Pinot Noir terroirs found in Ay and Mareuil-sur-Ay. Made only in exceptional years, it is the fruit of a strict selection from among the vintage's finest wines. Its extraordinary quality originates in this ambitious blending, expressing the vintage’s specific character. Long ageing allows it to fully develop the complexity of truly Grand Champagne. Vinous and powerful, the Vintage Reserve remains elegant and fresh. Perfect all alone, it will nevertheless brilliantly accompany an entire meal.

Colour

Appearance: Medium gold, without any evidence of evolution. The mousse is delicate without being too lively and becomes creamy.

Bouquet

Nose: First nose of flower honey, then come notes of dry fruit, grape and fig.

Flavour

Palate: Very direct attack, pure. A crisp acidity balances the ripeness of the fruit. The mouth is full but without heaviness. The finish is enlivened by light but persistent aromas of leather and smoke, typical marks of ageing in grand Pinot Noirs.

Pairing

As a very fine table Champagne, the Réserve Millésimée is a perfect food companion. Completely at ease with seafood, especially with butter sauces, it goes even better with poultry, broiled meat and feathered game.

Ageing	6 to 7 years in order to maximize complexity as well as secondary and tertiary aromas that result from ageing on the lees in the bottle. All wines are given three months between disgorgement and shipping. Each bottle bears its disgorgement date on its back label.
