The Story

Belonging exclusively to Philipponnat, the Clos des Goisses is an exceptional vineyard of 5,5 Ha enclosed by walls, with an impressive gradient of 30 to 45°, facing full south, where Philipponnat produces the most powerful of Champagne wines. Always vintaged, very lightly dosed, this uncommon wine is characterized by incredible length and body, in which Pinot Noir characteristics predominate. This fabulous wine for great occasions, extraordina...

Vintage 1995

A welcome relief after some difficult years in the region. Quantity-wise, it was the seventh high-cropping year in a row. But, in 1995, the quality also excelled, and particularly so for Chardonnay. There were significant frost damages during the spring and the warm but wet weather in the summer ignited mildew and rot problems.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle and in an excellent condition. Colour is yellow, and looking healthy, deep and youthful . On the nose it is intense, opulent, seductive, tempting and refined. The taste is harmonious, rich, vigor, elegant, vivid, with silky tannins, medium-bodied, with perfectly balanced structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has citrus, creamy, perfumed, white fruits, raspberry, honey, toasty, tropical fruits and vanilla flavours. The finish is medium long, round, extensive, lingering and pure. This wine is transparent, excellent and fine. I paid around 200-500€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 15min before tasting. Good value for money. I do recommend.
