Intensity and depth define the 2010 Philipponnat Clos des Goisses, which layers ripe apricot, baked apple and roasted hazelnut over a chalky, mouthfilling structure. The high proportion of Pinot Noir brings vinosity, grip and a serious spine, while Chardonnay adds lift and precision, giving a Champagne that feels both powerful and racy, already complex yet clearly built for further development in bottle.

Clos des Goisses by Philipponnat is an always-vintage, extra-brut Champagne from one of Champagne’s warmest and most dramatic terroirs: a tiny 5.83 ha, south-facing, pure-chalk walled vineyard on the steep slopes above Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Vinified parcel by parcel (largely in wood, without malolactic fermentation) and dominated by Pinot Noir with some Chardonnay, it produces an unusually powerful, vinous, intensely mineral wine often compared to grand Burgundy and prized for its depth, longevity, and ability to pair with richly flavored dishes.
