Philipponnat
Clos des Goisses 2013 (EN)
0,75L Vins rares
Clos des Goisses by Philipponnat is the most powerful of all Champagne wines. It comes from a unique, south-facing, pure chalk hillside in Mareuil-sur-Ay, whose 45° slope belies the origin of its name: in old Champagne, "Gois, ou Goisse" refers to a steep hillside. This wine, always vintage and very low dosage, vinified mostly in wood, without malolactic fermentation, is characterized by exceptional fullness and length. A great wine as well as a great Champagne, Clos des Goisses is particularly well-suited to gastronomy.

Terroirs
Winter is generally cold, with little sunshine. From mid-November to mid-March, frosts are very frequent, and the beginning of the year is marked by heavy snowfalls from mid-January to mid-March. Spring is a long time coming, and April is a mild, even warm, interlude that favors budburst. After a cool start, May saw an exceptionally cold spell and spectacular rainfall. Under these conditions, the vines developed very slowly, and the early-ripening terroirs, including Clos des Goisses and the best slopes of the Grande Vallée de la Marne and Côte de Blancs, flowered around mid-June, in cold, rainy weather. Yields are low to moderate. More classic terroirs, such as Avenay in our vineyards, or later, flowered at the end of June, in more favorable temperature and light conditions. After a very wet June, July remained wet, but with periods of remission sufficient to keep mildew under control. Finally, the weather remained warm, very sunny and fairly dry in August and right up to the start of the harvest, on October 5 for Philipponnat at Mareuil sur Ay, allowing good ripeness for this fresh, elegant vintage, reminiscent of an age before global warming.
About this house
To make its wines, Philipponnat uses the best grapes, mostly from Premiers and Grands Crus, exclusively in cuvée (first press), and makes a point of harvesting grapes that are riper than the Champagne average. Some of the wines are fermented or aged in barrels, which is exceptional in Champagne, and wood ageing gives them greater complexity, without making them heavy. The wines are aged in bottle, on their lees, for between three and eleven years. Affirming a distinctive style that doesn't give in to trends, the Champagne House produces a range of Champagnes that are above all wines: tasty, powerful and balanced.

Chef's word
Chef PHILIPPE MILLE
"Witnessing the soul of Champagne isn't just about cooking the terroir... it's about understanding who it is!
Having worked in the kitchens of Messrs Bordier, Grondart, Anton and Roth, and as Yannick Alléno's right-hand man at Le Scribe and then Le Meurice, he brought Domaine Les Crayères its first macaron in 2011, followed by a second in 2012, which he has kept for over 10 years.
His menu is inspired by the seasons and the Champagne region.
