1992 Philipponnat Brut L.V. Clos des Goisses

Opening in the glass with autolytic aromas of toasted bread, yeast extract, honeyed peaches, confit citrus and praline, the 1992 Extra Brut Clos des Goisses L.V. is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with incisive acids, a fine mousse and a delicate, fine-boned profile, concluding with a mineral finish. This is an elegant middleweight Clos des Goisses that's drinking very well today. Disgorged in July 2018 after prolonged maturation sur lattes under natural cork, this new release inaugurates Philipponnat's L.V. program, formalizing their late-disgorged ex-maison releases.
