Producer Jerome Dehours is a member of the 'Les Artisans du Champagne', which brings together high quality, mostly single estate champagne producers for an annual tasting. Dehours is one of Champagne’s most exciting estates making stylish and expertly crafted wines with a careful approach and excellent quality. We believe there is real creativity and attention to detail in his winemaking for him to develop the complexity from the blending of solera methods with the combined drive to show what Pinot Meunier and single vineyards in the Marne Valley can produce. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs this is on the richer style of champagne, you could experiment with the smaller, creamy Oysters and serve as an aperitif or it could also work well with some chargrilled beef, or slow-cooked lamb (which becomes tender and sweeter in texture) with lemon preserve to pick up those citrus notes in the wine. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}

In fact they are aiming to be the first champagne house to move away completely from the use of stainless steel and devote its entire production to oak. Owner Claude Giraud believes in ‘terroir in the forest’ and has worked relentlessly for almost 30 years, understanding this relationship. He created a cuvee named ‘Fût du Chêne’ which embodies this idea. All pinot noir, fermented and aged in barrel. He is famous for stating, “history knows of no great wines without great forests.” If you like characterful champagnes with power and class explore this maison, you will not be disappointed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is very much an aperitif champagne, some freshly shucked oysters wouldn't go astray. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}

It offers the most intense expression of this exceptional terroir; its vines, facing due south, benefit from an ideal amount of sunshine all year long. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the eye, Les Cintres is a light, bright gold colour. Very fine, creamy bubbles and a dense and persistent mousse. It has a powerful and elegant nose combining notes of white chocolate with grilled nut and smoky aromatics. There is fine approach on the palate which is mineral-rich and fresh. The smoky notes are once again apparent, with an exceptionally long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAged for more than nine years in the Philipponnat's cellars at a constant temperature of 12 degrees celsius to develop maximum complexity and to highlight the wine's secondary and tertiary aromas, which are the hallmarks of extended ageing on lees. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% pinot noir, 100% first pressed juice form the central plots in Clos des Goisses, Mareuil-sur-Ay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharles Philipponnat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the house\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most underrated champagnes in our humble opinion. Philipponnat is a house of outstanding quality from their entry level Royale Reserve Brut all the way through to their iconic Clos des Goisses Vintages. This premium producer picks fruit with maximum ripeness and focus on pinot noir fruit with power. All this ripeness is balanced with a long, cool fermentation and some wines being blocked from malo-lactic fermentation, whilst being fermented in oak barrels. Careful blending of base wines complete the work of art on non-vintage cuvees with approximately 30% of reserve wines being added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReserve wines are aged in a perpetual Solera system with new wines being added to older wines every year, continuously adding more complexity and depth to young cuvees. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cuvée makes a perfect match for lobster and saltwater fish. It will also go well to enhance white meats as well as stews and cheeses. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-12-02T10:59:11+11:00","created_at":"2018-10-31T10:10:49+11:00","vendor":"Philipponnat","type":"Vintage","tags":["$100-200","Charles Philipponnat","Exclusive","Region: Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ","Sustainable","Taste: 7 Years on Lees","Taste: Aged 8 Years on Lees","Taste: Barrel-fermented","Taste: Barrel-maturation","Taste: Bitter Lemon","Taste: Candied Orange","Taste: Chalky","Taste: Extra Brut","Taste: Fig","Taste: Gingernut biscuits","Taste: Grilled Pineapple","Taste: Honey","Taste: Layered","Taste: Mineral","Taste: Partial Barrel-fermentation","Taste: Pinot Noir Dominant","Taste: White Peach","Vintage","Year: 2008"],"price":79999,"price_min":79999,"price_max":79999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":13776521232493,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"PHILIP_CINTRES_08","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":4223155437677,"product_id":1481549021293,"position":1,"created_at":"2018-10-31T10:22:04+11:00","updated_at":"2018-10-31T10:22:04+11:00","alt":null,"width":646,"height":1000,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Philipponnat-Les-Cintres-Extra-Brut-2008-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1540941724","variant_ids":[13776521232493]},"available":true,"name":"Philipponnat 'Les Cintres' '08 - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":79999,"weight":1000,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":1,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":""}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Philipponnat-Les-Cintres-Extra-Brut-2008-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1540941724"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Philipponnat-Le
