1998 Philipponnat Clos des Goisses is one of the most iconic single-vineyard Champagnes ever produced. Sourced from the steep, south-facing Clos des Goisses vineyard in Mareuil-sur-Ay, this legendary cuvee blends approximately 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay, delivering power, depth, and remarkable ageing potential.
The nose reveals ripe apricot, honey, toasted brioche and floral notes, layered with hints of smoke, mint and chalky minerality. On the palate it is dense and richly textured, showing citrus, white fruit and creamy complexity balanced by vibrant freshness. The finish is long, powerful and mineral-driven, a hallmark of this historic hillside vineyard.
Now beautifully mature, the 1998 Clos des Goisses remains a benchmark vintage Champagne - structured, vinous and incredibly complex, offering a drinking experience closer to a great Burgundy than a typical Champagne.
