Clos des Goisses Rosé 2005

Clos des Goisses is the flagship of Philipponnat. The site in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ is a walled vineyard on a steep, south-facing slope above the Marne. The 2005 rosé from this clos is one of the house's rare bottles and is sought after by collectors. The house describes it as the most powerful wine in Champagne and as a rosé with great ageing potential that will mature magnificently in the coming years.

This is not a champagne for a quick aperitif. Give it time in the glass: a large white wine glass or a wide tulip lets it open up. We recommend a temperature of 10 to 12°C, so that power and freshness stay in balance. It works best at a dinner where it can stand up to fish, white meat or poultry. A serious choice for special occasions and for the cellar alike.
