Description

Champagne Philipponnat on väga kõrgelt hinnatud šampanjamaja, asutatud 1522. aastal ja see ka üks vanimaid maju kogu piirkonnas, täna juhib maja 16. põlvkonna esindaja Charles Philipponnat. Clos des Goisses on Philipponnat kõige uhkem šampanja, mis tuleb 5,83 hektari suurusest kivimüüriga ümbritsetud üksikveiniaiast Mareuil-sur-Ay’st, mille Pierre Philipponnat 1935. aastal ostis. Clos de Goisses aeda loetakse kogu Champagne maakonna üheks parimaks veiniaiaks, unikaalne “cru” asub Marne jõe kaldal, täielikult lõunapoolse asetusega (piirkonna kõige soojem aed), väga järsul nõlvakul 45 kraadise kalde all, kriidisel pinnasel.

Champagne Philipponnat “Clos des Goisses” Extra Brut Vintage 2013 on 85% Pinot Noir ja 15% Chardonnay. 47% veinist laagerdus Burgundia tammevaatis ja 53% terasmahutites. Malolaktilist kääritamist ei tehta, et säilitada võimalikult palju värskust ja happesust. Teistkordne kääritamine pudelis kestis 8 aastat, dosage on 4,25 grammi liitri kohta. Kokku tehtud 10723 tavapudelit, 1910 magnumit ja 243 jeroboami.

“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. Drink 2025-2055.” Wine Advocate 98 points

“The 2013 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses is fabulous. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2013 is in no mood to show all its cards. The late harvest produced a bristling, intensely saline Clos des Goisses that will require years to be at its best. Even so, its depth, textural resonance and finish are so evocative as to what the future holds. The 2013 is a positively stunning Champagne and one of the best Goisses in recent memory. I can’t wait to see how it develops. Dosage is 4.25 grams per liter. Drink 2031-2053.” Antonio Galloni Vinous 98 points
