Clos des Goisses 2005

We are pleased to offer the current release of Philipponnat Clos des Goisses, 2005.

• A truly remarkable champagne, Clos des Goisses has an unusually low production

• Clos des Goisses ages superbly well and finding a case with some age is increasingly difficult so it's always well worth buying on release. 

A wonderful food wine, as well as a very special apertif!

"The 2005 Clos des Goisses impresses for its energy, focus and cut. The 2005 isn’t a huge Goisses, rather it is a Champagne that stands out for its tension, something that is quite rare in this vintage. Graphite, yellow stone fruits, slate, minerals and tropical-inflected overtones appear on the finish, adding further complexity and nuance with a dash of exoticism just to round things out. I will not be surprised if the 2005 blossoms into an even more complete Champagne with further time in bottle. This is the second vintage made in the new winery, which has allowed for better control of temperature and other variables"

"Pale yellow-gold. Ripe, mineral-tinged orange, yellow plum and pear aromas, with an exotic floral note that expands in the glass. Minerally and energetic on the palate, with densely packed orchard and citrus fruit flavors that offer a suave interplay of depth and vivacity. The seamless, sappy finish features smoky minerals, a hint of honeysuckle and lingering spiciness"
