Champagne Philipponnat "Les Cintres" Extra Brut 2009

In exceptional years, a limited-quantity edition emerges from the heart of Clos des Goisses. It comes from two adjoining Pinot Noir plots: Les Petits Cintres and Les Grands Cintres. These are the oldest-planted and best-exposed plots on the entire Les Goisses hill. Vinified entirely in wooden barrels without malolactic fermentation, this cuvée is deliberately crafted in limited quantities, and is produced using just a third of the harvest volume to avoid weakening the classic cuvée.
