View analysis
Description
Clos des Goisses is the most powerful of all Champagnes. It is produced using grapes grown on a unique, pure chalk hillside with a 45 degree slope facing due south, in Mareuil-sur-Ay. Its name certainly reveals its true nature, in the old champagne dialect, Gois or Goisse means a very steep slope. This is always a vintage wine with a very low dosage. Vinified mainly in wooden casks with no malolactic fermentation, it is distinctively full-bodied with an exceptionally long finish. A very great wine as well as being a very great Champagne, clos des Goisses is specifically intended as an accompaniment to haute cuisine. Mineral and intense, it makes an unforgettable match for dishes with strong flavours: game, truffles, caviar and cheese.
About the Producer
Philibonne Champagne's winemaking philosophy is: let nature take its course.

God has given Philippine Champagne its unique soil and climate, which give its wines a unique quality and character. The rich aroma and fresh taste of Philippine Champagne make it a perfect match with a variety of cuisines, making it a favorite of many top restaurants, hotels, gourmets and connoisseurs. Philipponna has a wide range of champagnes, including Philipponnat Brut Royale Reserve, Philipponnat Brut Reserve Rosee and Philipponnat Grande Champagne. Blanc). In addition, Filippona is proud of the aged Clos des Goisses. After a long period of ageing, the Champagne Côtes de la Garcia must be freed of precipitation as required and with the personal approval of Mr. Charles Philipponnat, the current head of Champagne Philipponnat. The complex and fresh taste of the Champagne Cerro Champagne gives people a wonderful enjoyment. This wine has great ageing potential, with the oldest wines dating back to the 1940s.
