Jag följer Philipponnat på Facebook (rekommenderas!) och läste om en spännande provning som de hade igår med bl.a. en Clos des Goisses 1945, en Philipponnat 1929, en Clos des Goisses 1964 och en sendegorgerad Clos des Goisses 1964. Jag frågade hur de två 1964orna skilde sig åt och fick det här poetiska svaret av Charles själv:
"The recently (2008) disgorged 1964 was a lot fresher than the historically disgorded one (around 1971), and being tasted right after the 1986 and 1978, seemed mineral with toast and coffee dominating. It was still almost fully sparkling. The older 1964 still had a little effervescence. Towards the end of the evening after two hours and over dinner, the younger one evolved into notes of acacia honey and slightly bitter orange peal, and came closer and closer to the older one. While it maintained more youthfullness, it was obvious from the structure and mouthfeel, as well as the aromatics, that the wines were identical. As I often say they were like two photographs of the same (loved) person taken 20 years apart... While youth is an advantage, maturity ...may be less superficial."
Han är härlig, Charles Philipponnat! Jag hoppas att jag får tillfälle att besöka Philipponnat igen.
