Country / Region: France/Champagne

Grape type: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay

From the Champagne region’s most exceptional hillside vineyard, this is the oldest single vineyard Champagne produced in the area. The first vintage was made in 1880.

TASTING On the eye this champagne is bright gold, fine effervescence forming a persistent bead. On the nose it is elegant and fruity with notes of raspberry and raspberry eau-de-vie. The finish is delicious with notes of praline, frangipane, sponge cake and pastry cream. The attack is fresh and pure. The mouth is very elegant and expresses slightly mentholated notes. The finish is long and mineral. Excellent vintage, more intense and aromatic than 2008. Slightly less acidic but probably more balanced.

Clos des Goisses is a very fine wine before being a very fine champagne. It is a perfect and unforgettable match for strong-flavoured dishes. It will go perfectly with fish or lobster and soft cheeses in a few years. Bottles will often benefit from being decanted into a carafe. Cellar aged for many years and released for sale only when fully mature, it can be kept for several decades and will continue to develop magnificently under the right conditions.

Product Description

At Philipponnat, the harvest lasted from 13 to 24 September. It was halted from the 15th to the 18th to guarantee ideal maturity. Winter and spring frosts, cold weather just after flowering and shatter limited the volume of the crop and increased the concentration. Wet weather in July increased the workload, especially weeding (performed entirely mechanically: tractor equipped with inter-vine hoe, draught horse and even manual hoe). Fortunately, the end of the season was ideal, resulting in outstanding quality, particularly in the Pinot Noir, where the high sugar content (from 11.5° to over 12°) was combined with a highly satisfactory acidity. The high percentage of malic acid enables it to keep a nice freshness, without being excessive.
