For 5 centuries now, the Philipponnat family has been making its mark on the land of Champagne. The House Philipponnat was founded in 1522 on the lands of Aÿ, where all generations have succeeded one another. Possessing a unique historical and viticultural heritage, it reigns today over a vineyard of 20 hectares classified as Premier Cru and Grand Cru in Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Avenay.
The House Philipponnat produces exceptional vintages that express the richness of their terroir, shining with elegance and purity.
April de Philipponnat was a soldier in the army of François I, and was granted lands in Aÿ by the king as a reward for his exploits at the Battle of Marignan in 1515. The Philipponnats will thus devote themselves over the generations to the elaboration of Champagnes wines, and acquire at the beginning of the XXth century cellars dug in the XVIIIth century in Château of Mareuil, a village classified in Premier Cru. These cellars are still today an exceptional heritage.
In 1997, the House Philipponnat will be acquired by the group of Champagnes Lanson-BCC, but retains its family heritage. Charles Philipponnat is now its general manager.
House Philipponnat operates a 20-hectare vineyard classified as Premier Cru and Grand Cru in Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Avenay. The vines are worked with the greatest respect for the soil and the environment, in particular by the use of draught horses for the ploughing. The House Philipponnat... See more ...
The 2014 Clos des Goisses Extra-Brut from Philipponnat is an exceptional Champagne, made from the best terroirs of the Montagne de Reims, in particular the south-facing Mareuil-sur-Ay hillside.
This is a powerful, complex cuvée, 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay, vinified for the most part in wood. Clos des Goisses does not undergo malolactic fermentation, which pRéserve contributes to its freshness and great ageing potential.
After ageing for at least eight years, this cuvée is blended to Extra brut (4.25 g/l) to bring out the minerality and purity of the terroir. La robe is beautifully golden, with aromas of yellow fruits such as mirabelle plum and plum, accompanied by floral notes of vine flower and acacia blossom.
On the palate, the wine is fruity and mineral, with an enveloping texture and a saline finish, typical of this unique terroir.
This Champagne lends itself perfectly to high-quality gastronomic pairings, such as game, truffles, caviar or soft cheeses. It can also be paired with shellfish and white meats in its youth.
Thanks to its exceptional structure, it can be kept for several decades, improving with age.
