This always-memorable single-vineyard Champagne is dominated by rich Pinot Noir. The vineyard, a steep slope facing the Marne river, has given an intense, concentrated wine that has aged so well. Touches of toast are equaled by the rich fruit and acidity. Drink this great wine now. — Roger Voss

The Philipponnat Clos des Goisses 14 is a classic somewhat yesteryear style of Clos des Goisses that is a blend of 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay coming from 14 different small parcels each vinified separately with only the best ripest elements included in the final blend. None of the wines underwent malolactic to retain freshness and it was finished Extra Brut with a 4.5 gram per liter dosage. Ethereal floral notes of white viburnum waft over layers of ripe red apple lemon butter biscuits almond nougat clover honey and toast then flow into a medium to full-bodied palate infused with a high-gloss vibrant acidity shining a Klieg light of freshness on pure red berry fruit and citrus intensity. There is an ease of elegance throughout and incredible length on the creamy finish. 20000 bottles. Disgorged in March 2023 and finished with a 4.5 grams per liter dosage. 19984 Bottles produced

Made from 71% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay the 2014 Champagne Clos des Goisses Extra Brut takes on a very pretty and floral profile. Pouring a bright straw hue it’s lifted with the perfume of cherry blossoms wet stone fresh berries and sweet brioche. Full-bodied though more linear compared to the 2013 vintage it’s highlighted by a refined chalky texture with a pillowy mousse building to a ripe and rounded mid-palate and a long elegant finish with a flourish of white pepper spice. Though it’s certainly not the most powerful vintage for the vineyard it’s very attractive. It will benefit from another couple of years and continue to improve over the next two decades. Disgorged in March of 2023 with 4.5 grams per liter dosage.

The 2014 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses the latest rendition from this walled vineyard reveals a fresh energetic character with aromas of pear peach licorice spices white fruits spring flowers and menthol. Medium to full-bodied seamless and chiseled this is a structured tension-filled but ethereal Champagne with high acidity sign of a cool-weather vintage. Although already thoroughly enjoyable it should age well over the next 10 years. This is a blend of 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay disgorged with 4.25 grams per liter dosage.
