The Making of Clos des Goisses 2014 Philipponnat

The Clos des Goisses is a 5.83-hectare enclosed plot located in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. It is one of the oldest and steepest clos in Champagne. Facing due south, it benefits from optimal sun exposure and chalky soils that impart exceptional minerality to the grapes. This cuvée is made from 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay. The vinification, partially carried out in oak (64%), adds complexity and depth. No malolactic fermentation is practiced, preserving the natural acidity to balance the richness of the terroir. Aging for eight years on the lees in the cellar, at a constant temperature of 12°C, allows this champagne to reach perfect maturity. The dosage is Extra Brut, with 4.25 g/L of sugar, highlighting the purity of its expression.

The 2014 Vintage

The year 2014 was marked by contrasting climatic conditions. A warm and dry spring allowed early maturation of the vines, but the rainy summer required increased vigilance. Thanks to rapid harvesting and meticulous sorting, the grapes harvested from September 13 to 25 showed exceptional sanitary quality. This vintage reveals wines of great aromatic intensity and remarkable balance, despite the climatic challenges.
