Situated in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, where the family’s roots date back to 1522, the estate has been under the guidance of Charles Philipponnat since 2000, in which time huge improvements have been made to the quality of the entire range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhilipponnat grows 20 hectares of Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in the outstanding communes of Aÿ, Mareuil and Avenay. The Pinot Noir grape is king here and represents two thirds of their plantings. The winery is located just a stones through away from the iconic Clos de Goisses vineyard above the historic 18th century cellars of Chateau de Mareuil, where bottles are still aged and riddled manually (including all the vintage cuvées). A proportion of their wines are vinified and aged in oak barrels and malolactic fermentations are generally avoided.

This vintage is an assemblage of Pinot Noir (72%), providing structure and depth, balanced by Chardonnay (28%) for elegance and finesse.

The palate is broad and structured with noticeable concentration and defined by its chalky, dry texture and a long, profoundly complex finish typical of great Grand Cru Pinot Noir.

Located on a steep, south-facing slope overlooking the Marne River near Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, the plot's unique microclimate ensures grapes achieve extraordinary ripeness and concentration, resulting in a Champagne of immense power and longevity. The name 'Goisses' comes from an old regional word for \"very difficult to work,\" a testament to the vineyard's punishing 45-degree gradient. This vintage is an assemblage of Pinot Noir (71%) and Chardonnay (29%) lees aged for eight years in the bottle, also referred to as second fermentation or “prise de mousse”, in the House’s historic cellars in Mareuil-sur-Ay. The very low dosage gives full expression to the vinosity and minerality of this exceptional vineyard. A beautiful golden colour with a lovely, persistent ring of bubbles, the nose is very fresh and expressive, presenting notes of yellow fruit, mirabelle plum and greengage. On being left to breathe, floral notes appear:  vine and acacia blossom. The finish has a slightly roasted character. The palate is fruit-driven and intense, with an enveloping texture, notes of fresh fruit, honey and linden. The finish displays taut minerality and pleasant salinity. A Champagne of profound complexity, power, and minerality, Clos des Goisses is on a par with the best Burgundy reds for pairing with game, truffles, morel mushrooms and washed-rind cheeses.
