While the domaine produces a range of highly regarded cuvées, it is Clos des Goisses that has cemented its reputation among connoisseurs; first bottled as a single-vineyard Champagne in 1935, it was one of the earliest and most influential prestige cuvées to champion terroir. Philipponnat is celebrated for its unapologetically vinous, gastronomic style, a strong emphasis on Pinot Noir and a deep respect for traditional methods, including careful vineyard work, low yields and long aging. Today, Clos des Goisses is widely regarded as one of Champagne’s grandest sites, and its wines are benchmark references for collectors seeking depth, longevity and a true sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Philipponnat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252462670161,"sku":"PS-14999709024636","price":572.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/PhilipponnatClosdesGoisses2013_a436f699-4050-4bb3-bd45-314cdf5b91f9.png?v=1783444749"},{"product_id":"champagne-philipponnat-extra-brut-clos-des-goisses-juste-rose-2014-75-cl","title":"Philipponnat Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé 2014","description":"\u003cp\u003eChampagne Philipponnat Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé 2014 is a rare and profoundly vinous rosé Champagne from one of the most legendary single vineyards in the region.
