Beautiful pale yellow colourwith glints of gold and green, a vibrant, luminousrobe. Active effervescence with a fine, persistent release of bubbles. At first very intense on the nose, giving way to fresh fruit notes, particularly ripe citrus and exotic fruits (pineapple). A highly refined floralsecond nose with notes of linden and white fruits (white peach). A supple, harmonious attack on the palate, firm but rounded. A voluptuoustexture and vinosity that is not excessive, supported by excellent freshness. A very refreshing mineral finish.

The houses 20 hectares of vines are Grand and Premier Cru, ensuring quality and intensity in the wines. Mont de Mareuil, where Clos des Goisses is located, has been planted with vines since the 16th century. The Domaine was acquired by Philipponnat in 1935, and immediately became its jewel. The vineyard is planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes that make up this exquisite wine. Bright gold, fine effervescence forming a persistent bead. Elegant and fruity with notes of fresh raspberries and raspberry eau-de-vie. The finish is precise with notes of praline, frangipane, sponge cake and pastry cream. The attack is fresh and pur while on the palate, the wine is very elegant and expresses slightly mentholated notes. The finish is long and mineral. A wine suitable for the finest of occasions!
