Everyone was astonished by the pure aromatics and gorgeous palate precision from this regularly-sized bottle, delivered with pleasurable creamy texture and toffee notes. Disgorged 31 years after the harvest, bubbles are felt but hardly evident, adding subtle contour to a palate of superb structure and lively acidity. 'This is my favourite,' Philipponnat proclaimed, and it was easy to see why. Production was below average, at 20,000 bottles. Available in France for €1,350 a bottle, it truly reflects the overused term 'rare elixir'.
