Tasting notes
The 2013 Champagne Philipponnat Clos des Goisses is a highly regarded vintage, known for its brilliant color, fine effervescence, and refined floral nose. Aromas of redcurrant and red berries evolve beautifully into toasted and brioche-like notes, adding depth and complexity. On the palate, the wine is rich and mineral-driven, with vibrant flavors of blackberry and small red fruits, all carried by a precise, elegant structure. The finish is long, fresh, and impeccably balanced, showcasing both power and finesse. A Champagne of character and pedigree, it pairs sublimely with strong-flavored dishes and is best appreciated after decanting to reveal its full aromatic potential.
More About The Winery
Champagne Philipponnat is a historic family house based in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, with roots in the region dating back to 1522. For over five centuries, the Philipponnat family has been closely connected to Champagne, building a reputation for precise, terroir-driven wines with strong Pinot Noir character. Today, the house is led by Charles Philipponnat, continuing the family’s commitment to quality and identity.
The house owns vineyards in some of Champagne’s finest terroirs, including Premier and Grand Cru villages across the Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne. Pinot Noir plays a central role in the style, bringing structure, depth, and ageing potential, complemented by Chardonnay for freshness and Pinot Meunier for balance. Sustainable viticulture and careful parcel selection are key elements of the philosophy.
Philipponnat is particularly renowned for its iconic Clos des Goisses, a historic single vineyard overlooking the Marne River, known for producing powerful, structured, and long-lived Champagnes. Across the range, the wines are vinified with precision, often using a proportion of oak and reserve wines to enhance complexity while maintaining freshness and purity.
The style of Champagne Philipponnat is defined by tension, vinosity, and elegance, offering structured Champagnes with depth, mineral backbone, and excellent ageing potential.
