{"product_id":"champagne-clos-des-goisses-extra-brut","title":"Champagne Clos des Goisses Extra Brut 2014","description":"\u003cp\u003eClos des Goisses is arguably the most famous single vineyard (or clos) in all of Champagne, representing the very pinnacle of the Philipponnat estate. 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.

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.
