Philipponnat

Philipponnat is a Champagne house based in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, whose family origins date back to 1522. Owned by the Lanson-BCC group, it cultivates a 17-hectare vineyard, mainly situated in the Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ sectors. Its identity is closely linked to the Clos des Goisses, an enclosed hillside vineyard acquired in 1935 in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ.

Histoire du domaine

The history of the Philipponnat family in Champagne dates back to 1522, the year the house records as Apvril Le Philipponnat’s arrival in the region. His descendants, who served as royal mayors of Aÿ on several occasions, had the family coat of arms registered in the Armorial de France in 1696; it still appears on the house’s bottles. From the mid-19th century onwards, the Philipponnats, then vineyard owners and wine merchants, began marketing sparkling Champagnes under their own name. In 1910, Auguste and Pierre Philipponnat formalised the family business by setting up their company and acquiring the cellars of the Château de Mareuil. In 1935, Pierre Philipponnat acquired the Clos des Goisses from several winegrowers, which he consolidated into a single block in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. The house was acquired by the Boizel Chanoine Champagne group in 1997, which became Lanson-BCC in 2010. Charles Philipponnat is now its chairman. Thierry Garnier, cellar master, works alongside him on decisions regarding blending and winemaking.

Cuvée

Clos des Goisses

Clos des Goisses is a single-vineyard cuvée that is always vintage-dated, coming from the eponymous walled vineyard located in Mareuil-sur-Ay. This south-facing chalky hillside is distinguished by its extreme slope and produces a wine combining great maturity, intensity, and mineral tension. The cuvée is predominantly vinified in oak barrels, without malolactic fermentation, aged extensively on the lees, and low-dosage.

Origin of the cuvée name
The name comes from the old Champagne dialect word "Gois" or "Goisse," which designates a very steep hillside, in reference to the sharp incline of the clos.
Cuvée creation year
1935
Style of the cuvée
A vinous, profound, and intense Champagne, marked by high fruit maturity balanced by the mineral tension of the chalk. Its powerful, structured, and persistent profile is designed for gastronomy and long aging.
Position within the range
An emblematic single-vineyard cuvée and the ultimate expression of Maison Philipponnat's pursuit of excellence.

Histoire de la cuvée

Pierre Philipponnat acquired Clos des Goisses in 1935 and chose to vinify its grapes separately, creating Champagne's first single-cru, now described as a single-vineyard cuvée. The collection of vintages is documented as nearly uninterrupted since 1935. Since 1988, the Maison has produced this cuvée every year, with a strict selection that generally limits production to a portion of the vineyard's potential.

Drink Date
2017 - 2028

Vinified in old oak and enameled vats—a traditional approach of the time—Philipponnat’s 1986 Clos des Goisses, disgorged in September 2016 with the house’s customary dosage of 4.5 grams per liter, is drinking at its absolute peak today. It opens with an expressive bouquet of ripe peach, gingerbread and candied citrus peel, with a subtle hint of mushroom, likely indicative of rot pressure at the end of the growing season. On the palate, it is full-bodied, expansive and layered, with a rich core of fruit supported by vibrant acidity, concluding with a saline, gently citrus-inflected finish.
