Philipponnat Blanc de Noirs Champagne 2019 Tassajara Cellars Time in the glass releases

Time in the glass releases gorgeous aromatics to play off a core of dark red/purplish fruit

It shows a persistent mineral aftertaste

polished and supported by sweet oak

Tense and mineral on the palate with creamy mousse and tangy acidity that gives it crunchiness and verticality

certainly the finest Reventón from a warm year that I can remember

Philipponnat Blanc de Noirs Champagne 2019 Tassajara Cellars Time in the glass releasesIts colour is an intense gold with a few pink highlights typical of the Pinot Noir grape variety. On the nose, the first aromas are of floral notes of violet and acacia blossom. A second, more open and expressive nose brings fruity notes of apricot, strawberry and morello cherry. On the palate, the attack is full and delicious, with notes of wild berries. The finish is fresh and elegant, with hints of spice, aniseed and liquorice.
