Champagne Philipponnat - Clos des Goisses Millésime 2007


Guide VERON des Champagnes 2018
(around 133 euros per bottle)
Mythical Champagne

Emblematic presentation.

Aspect:

Solar.

Extremely fine bubbles.

Scattered bubbles on the periphery of the flute.

Nose:

Fascinating, radiant and endless bouquet.

The scents of apple, citrus fruits, apricot and grape, delicate signatures of the Chardonnay (35%), are slowly unveiled on a bed of generous fragrances of red and black fruits, barely spicy, characteristic sign of the majority of Pinot Noir (65%).

Later, the Champagne House reveals its fullness with its aromas of pastries and chocolate, result of the long ageing on laths of the bottles (10 years), at 12°C, with corks held by a clip, in the historic cellars of the House.

Palate:

The pure tension reinforced by the timely stop of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines to preserve the natural acidity of the grapes, and by the adjusted dosage with 4.25 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement, gives way to an enveloping warmth, with subtle woody notes thanks to the vinification and to the ageing in wood of 73% of the base wines.

Tasty finish, highlighted by the particular minerality of the chalky soil of the Clos des Goisses.

Vertiginous length on the palate.

With this Clos des Goisses Millésime 2007, Thierry Garnier, cellar master of the Champagne House Philipponnat, offers us a deeply radiant champagne, splendid interpretation of this 2007 vintage with an early crop.

To taste during festive meals, with lobster ravioles and black truffles, for example.

Anchored to the Clos des Goisses, original plot of the House with extreme slope (45°), surrounded by walls and south facing, the Champagne House Philipponnat has been perpetuating in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ the family heritage passed down over the centuries since 1522. Certified Haute Valeur Environnementale and driven by a real desire to reduce the environmental footprint, it cultivates its vineyard of 17 hectares established in the noble terroirs of Champagne (Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Avenay-Val-d’Or) to produce with passion authentic Champagnes.
