The Philipponnat Champagne Aoc Extra Brut 'Clos des Goisses' 2013.

Elegant and floral, with notes of elderflower, followed by intense aromas of red berries and red fruit and finally pleasant toasted aromas. The taste is at the same time rich and minerally, with notes of blackcurrants and small red fruits. The long, fresh and elegant finale is typical of this vintage. Clos des Goisses is above all a 'fine wine' and of course also a beautiful 'fine' Champagne. A perfect and unforgettable match with dishes with a distinctive taste. Delicious with fish or lobster and soft cheeses in a few years. Decanting can help the wine show its best qualities.

Philipponnat Winery
Philipponnat is a historic French Champagne house owned by the family of the same name. The Philipponnat's wine history in the region dates back to the 16th Century when they were growers and merchants, supplying wine to the court of Louis XIV. The company's 18th Century cellars were part of the Château de Mareuil.

Philipponnat is particularly known for the Clos des Goisses vintage deluxe cuvées (brut and rosé), produced from and named for a 5.5 hectare (13.6 acre) walled vineyard. Here, an unshaded 45-degree slope facing due south is regarded to provide the region's warmest terroir allowing the grapes to achieve maximal ripening potential.

The house's single plot cuvées are a trio sourced from Premier or Grand Cru plots at Le Léon in Ay, Mareuil-sur-Ay and Clos des Goisse. These vintage blanc de blancs have been aged for at least seven years prior to release. The collection also includes the Royale Réserve non-vintage line and a broad selection of styles of vintage wines.

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate review
Surpassing even the 2012 and 2008, Philipponnat's 2013 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses looks to be the finest vintage of this cuvée in several decades, at least on first acquaintance. Deriving from only the six core parcels out of the 13 that make up the Clos des Goisses, it's a striking wine, evoking aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, Anjou pear, clear honey, bee pollen, stone fruit and iodine. Full-bodied, layered and vinous, its textural attack segues into a deep, concentrated and tightly wound mid-palate that's girdled by racy acids and chalky structure, before concluding with a long, saline finish. Why is it quite so good? It would appear that 2013 was the perfect storm: an early-ripening terroir in a cool, late vintage; moderately yielding Burgundian selections of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that attained full maturity; and a willingness to make a strict selection have all come together to deliver a profound Clos des Goisses: 98 Parker Points.
