Philipponnat Clos des Goisses Juste Rose 2007 Champagne
Short Description
It is a wine of Rosé Champagne coming exclusively from the Clos des Goisses (which is where its name comes from, meaning “sloped clos”), one of the most ancient Clos of the Champagne region, whose surface area is 5.5 hectares, located in a Premier Cru area in the town of Mareuil sur Aÿ.
Property of the Philipponnat House for almost a year, it is fully south-facing, an optimal exposure, unique and outstanding with a slope of 45%.
It also is a Champagne wine composed of 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay.
Vinification takes place in wooden casks for half of the wines and the wines are aged in bottles and in cellars for at least 8 years.
The colour is a delicate pink, pale and bright.
To the nose, the first impression is on notes of red fruits (raspberry and strawberry), followed by aromas of pink grapefruit candied peels.
To the palate : great minerality and a beautiful balance between vinosity and acidity followed by touches of redberries.
To be served cool, around 12°C but for great amateurs, in a wine carafe like all Burgundy or Bordeaux great wines, with fishes and pink meats (veal or lamb).
A Champagne with a high potential of ageing on at least 10 years, in your cool cellar, away from light and laid flat.
For almost 5 centuries, the Philipponnat family has left its mark on the Champagne region. They succeeded one another on the lands of Aÿ, cradle of the family since Apvril Le Philipponnat, vineyard owner in the locality « Le Leon », between Aÿ and Dizy since 1522.
In the 16th century, the family’s ancestors were wine-growers and wine-merchants, suppliers for Louis XIV, Magistrates, and Maîtres Royaux of the City of Aÿ, which was under direct control of the Crown according to the charter of Henry IV, King of France, who was referred to primarily as Sieur d’Aÿ, among all his other titles.
Established in the heart of the Champagne region, the Philipponnat House possesses a unique legacy: its historical wine cellars dating back to the 18th century were those of the Château de Mareuil, a village at the heart of the Champagne region, classified as Premier Cru.
The Philipponnat House also possesses a unique vineyard in the region: the Clos des Goisses, a 5 hectares hillside with a slope of 45 degrees that gives it its name (goisse in champenois refers to a very steep hillside), extremely rich in pure chalk, thus providing olfactory and gustative strength due to its very unique soil.
Truthful to its charter, Premiers Grands Crus only upheld from this famous House of Champagne the ones that were either classified Premier Cru or Grand Cru.
