1999 Philipponnat Clos des Goisses L.V.

The Clos des Goisses Long Veillessmont 1999 is second release of this vintage 25 years post-harvest. Redolent of ethereal, creamy autolytic aromas with flashes of citrus and flint that with time evolve into notes of raw oat milk, wet wheat and wood shavings. It changes rapidly in the glass. The palate is less about fruit and more about autolytic, yeasty notes that are enlivened by remarkably vibrant acid and lean aromatic notes of wet stones and minerals. While it is a unicorn stylistically, it nonetheless finishes with vigor; chiseled and clean. Disgorged March 2024 after 25 years on the lees and finished with 4.5 grams per liter dosage
