Intensity and grace collide in Philipponnat Les Cintres Extra Brut 2012, a pure Pinot Noir Champagne from the heart of Clos des Goisses that surges with red berries, ripe orchard fruit and hints of pear, citrus and spring flowers over chalky depth. The palate is powerful yet razor‑defined, densely packed with fruit and savory nuance, driven by racy acidity and a firm, sculpted structure that carries into an exceptionally long, saline, almost endless finish. This is a serious, ageworthy Champagne that shows the 2012 vintage at its most complete and dramatic.
