Philipponnat

Champagne Clos des Goisses Extra-Brut Vintage

The Philipponnat family has owned and run its Champagne house in the heart of the wine-growing areas of Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Averney for over 500 years. A family of vignerons, winemakers and merchants since the 16th century, they famously supplied their wines to Louis XIV, the Sun King. The house’s 20 hectares of vines are Grand and Premier Cru, ensuring quality and intensity in the wines. Mont de Mareuil, where Clos des Goisses is located, has been planted with vines since the 16th century. The Domaine was acquired by Philipponnat in 1935, and immediately became its jewel. The vineyard is planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes that make up this exquisite wine.
Bright gold, fine effervescence forming a persistent bead. Elegant and fruity with notes of fresh raspberries and raspberry eau-de-vie. The finish is precise with notes of praline, frangipane, sponge cake and pastry cream. The attack is fresh and pur while on the palate, the wine is very elegant and expresses slightly mentholated notes. The finish is long and mineral. A wine suitable for the finest of occasions!
