Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
An electric, chiselled acidity, underpinned by 8 years on laths without complete malolactic fermentation.
Roundness
The dominant Pinot Noir lends flesh and depth without ever tipping into heaviness.
Power
The full expression of Champagne's steepest chalk hillside — a wine of majestic amplitude.
Length
A saline, chalky finish of extraordinary aromatic persistence, among the longest in the region.

TASTING NOTES

A luminous golden robe with amber highlights and bubbles of remarkable finesse and persistence. An entrancing nose of redcurrant and ripe blackberry, candied citrus and ginger, lifted by toasted notes and a deep chalky minerality. The palate is electric and taut, with a controlled power of watchmaker's precision, finishing on a saline, calcareous note of exceptional length.

Terroirs

A 5.83-hectare monopole clos in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, facing due south on a 45° slope of unbroken pure chalk — a terroir without equal in Champagne, whose name derives from the old Champenois word 'goisse', meaning a very steep hillside. The 2013 vintage, aged for 8 years on laths at 12°C in the house's historic cellars, is described by critics as the finest expression of the cuvée in several decades.

Philipponnat

About this house

Founded in 1522 in Aÿ, Philipponnat is one of the oldest houses in Champagne. Under the stewardship of Charles Philipponnat, it combines artisanal tradition with an exceptionally rare consistency of purpose, refusing commercial compromise in favour of a distinctly expressed terroir identity.

The Clos des Goisses, acquired in 1935, is the house's absolute jewel: a monopole clos vinified predominantly in oak, always vintage-dated, very lightly dosed, and rightly counted among the world's greatest wines — as much as among the greatest Champagnes.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Apéritif

Apéritif

The iodine and salinity of oysters answer with precision the chalky tension and electric minerality of the Clos des Goisses.

Starter

Starter

The vinous richness and toasted notes of the Clos des Goisses elevate the silky texture and noble character of foie gras.

Main

Main

The power of the Pinot Noir and the depth of the oak vinification find their match in the delicate savouriness of veal sweetbreads.
