PHILIPPONNAT CLOS DES GOISSES 2014

History of the House Philipponnat vinifies in the heart of its vineyards, on the edge of the Marne and close to the Romanesque church of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. The entrance, adorned with the family coat of arms, leads to a courtyard of honour revealing an elegant classical façade — a symbol of the harmony and rigour that guide the House. At the centre of this heritage architecture, the 18th-century cellars patiently accommodate the ageing of the wines, far from any agitation. Philipponnat's range covers a broad spectrum, designed to satisfy the most demanding palates. Pinot Noirs structure the identity of cuvées that are both generous and nervy, from the Brut Royale Réserve — the House's emblem — to the prestigious Clos des Goisses. Each vintage is the result of a meticulous blending carried out by professionals who preserve a centuries-old savoir-faire. Annual production ranges between 500,000 and 600,000 bottles, reserved for a clientele of connoisseurs. Wine merchants, sommeliers, chefs and head waiters from the most selective establishments form the House's privileged network. It is through their intermediary that Philipponnat champagnes find their place in more than fifty countries around the world.
