Clos des Goisses 2013 75cl

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…

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.

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.

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

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

Starter

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

Main

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