About Champagne Philipponnat Clos des Goisses Brut 2007
Bottle (75cl)

The Clos des Goisses is a plot as legendary as it is unique in Champagne. With its exceptional 45° slope facing due south and its soil composed largely of chalk on the surface, the Clos des Goisses produces the most powerful and mineral wines in Champagne!

This 2007 cuvée of Champagne Philipponnat Clos des Goisses, is a blend dominated by Pinot Noir (65%) supplemented with Chardonnay (35%). After manual harvesting, 50% of the juice was then vinified in wood in order to bring complexity to the blend. Unlike many Champagnes, the Clos de Goisses 2007 did not have malolactic fermentation in order to preserve its natural acidity and to compensate for its incomparable aromatic power.

In the glass, the Champagne Philipponnat Clos des Goisses 2007 has a magnificent golden yellow colour with brilliant reflections and a fine effervescence forming a delicate and persistent foam.
On the nose, it opens with a powerful and refined bouquet charged with fragrances of small white flowers and vegetal notes, before letting complex scents of red fruits, hazelnuts and toasted bread emerge.
On the palate, Champagne Philipponnat Clos des Goisses 2007 offers a pure and incredibly mineral attack. Crunchy and juicy fruit aromas unfold in the mid-palate, supported by a perfectly balanced acidity and a subtly salty mineral structure before finishing on an elegant, fresh, fruity and remarkably persistent finish.

Philipponnat's 2007 Clos des Goisses should enter its ideal tasting range in 2016 and continue to mature over the next 20 years.
