{"title":"Philipponnat","description":"In the world of winemaking pedigrees, Philipponnat is one of the first names that comes to mind.  Dating back to the 16th century, the Champagne house has been a magnificent presence on the landscape, with multiple generations of family vintners leaving their marks on the land.  After 500 years, the Philipponnat family continues to manage the property to this day. \r\nFor over a century, Philipponnat has owned a unique vineyard unlike any other in the Champagne region. Called Clos Des Goisses, meaning “very steep slope,” it is the region’s warmest terroir, and with its 45oincline enjoys the benefits of the sun from dawn to dusk.  \r\nThe pinnacle of Philipponnat is its Close Des Goisses vintage Champagne, featuring a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Powerfully forward, it can be enjoyed both sooner or later, as under the proper conditions, the wine can continue to develop for decades.\r\nPhilipponnat creates its wines using only first press juice from the highest quality grapes hailing from Premier and Grand Cru plots. Using grapes more mature than others in the region, the wines are then fermented in casks, allowing the wood to add to their complexity. Aging runs from three to ten years, which has prompted Philipponnat Champagne to be viewed more as well-balanced, robust wine.","products":[{"product_id":"france-champagne-na-clos-des-goisses-brut-lv","title":"Philipponnat, Clos des Goisses Brut LV","description":"NA","brand":"wwus-dev","offers":[{"title":"2000 \/ 6x750ml","offer_id":35402512040091,"sku":"140475320000600750","price":1575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0454\/4108\/9691\/products\/Bottle-Philipponnat_20-_20Clos_20des_20Goisses_20Brut_20LV_20-_20NA_20-_20Champagne_20-_20White_20-_20Label_20-_201404753.png?v=1596886833"},{"product_id":"france-champagne-na-clos-goisses-brut","title":"Philipponnat, Clos Goisses Brut","description":"From their iconic steep, south-facing, riverside vineyard in Mareuil-sur-Ay - acquired in 1935 - Philipponnat's strikingly beautiful 2004 Brut Clos des Goisses betrays no suggestion of alcoholic weight or opacity such as one might associate with an especially warm, fast-ripening vineyard. On the contrary, this is a bottling that combines silken feel with delicacy, refreshment, and utmost transparency to nuance. Chamomile, mint and lily-of-the-valley don't just turn heads from the rim of the glass; they waft through this wine's entire palate performance, against a greenhouse-like background of diverse if elusive flowering and leafing things. Salivary gland-tugging salinity and hints of chalk suffuse a fruit matrix of white peach, lime, red raspberry and red currant whose juicy, subtly crunchy expressions put me a bit in mind of certain supreme Nahe Rieslings. This site's reflection in the Marne River is itself iconic, but its reflection in your glass will prove kaleidoscopically spellbinding. That effect persisted during the four days I had the pleasure of following this 2004, and I suspect that subsequent bottles will prove worth following for at least a decade. The house of Philipponnat - which owns 44 prime acres in and around Mareuil-sur-Ay, its base of operations ever since having completed a new press house and cellar there in 2004 - is headed by Charles Philipponat, although it's owned by the group that controls Champagne Bruno Paillard Philipponnat. This house's Clos des Goisses estate vineyard is justly renowned, but on the occasion of my recent tasting, their extra brut \"1522\" - named for the year in which the first Philipponnat began farming vines, in Ay - proved almost as compelling.","brand":"wwus-dev","offers":[{"title":"1995 \/ 12x750ml","offer_id":35402512335003,"sku":"131177019951200750","price":4225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1996 \/ 6x750ml","offer_id":35402512564379,"sku":"131177019960600750","price":2475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2001 \/ 6x750ml","offer_id":35402512597147,"sku":"131177020010600750","price":1725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2003 \/ 12x750ml","offer_id":35402512629915,"sku":"131177020031200750","price":2125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2004 \/ 12x750ml","offer_id":35402512662683,"sku":"131177020041200750","price":2350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2006 \/ 6x750ml","offer_id":35402512695451,"sku":"131177020060600750","price":1225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2007 \/ 6x750ml","offer_id":35402512728219,"sku":"131177020070600750","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2008 \/ 6x750ml","offer_id":35402512760987,"sku":"131177020080600750","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2009 \/ 6x750ml","offer_id":35402512793755,"sku":"131177020090600750","price":1325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2010 \/ 3x1.5L","offer_id":35402512826523,"sku":"131177020100301500","price":1560.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2000 \/ 6x750ml","offer_id":35402512859291,"sku":"131177020000600750","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2008 \/ 3x1.5L","offer_id":35402512892059,"sku":"131177020080301500","price":2050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2006 \/ 3x1.5L","offer_id":35402512924827,"sku":"131177020060301500","price":1670.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2007 \/ 3x1.5L","offer_id":35402512957595,"sku":"131177020070301500","price":1175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2008 \/ 6x1.5L","offer_id":35402512990363,"sku":"131177020080601500","price":4550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2008 \/ 12x750ml","offer_id":35402513023131,"sku":"131177020081200750","price":2850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2010 \/ 6x1.5L","offer_id":35402513088667,"sku":"131177020100601500","price":3175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2010 \/ 12x750ml","offer_id":35402513121435,"sku":"131177020101200750","price":2350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2009 \/ 6x1.5L","offer_id":35402513154203,"sku":"131177020090601500","price":2350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2009 \/ 12x750ml","offer_id":35402513186971,"sku":"131177020091200750","price":2075.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2005 \/ 6x1.5L","offer_id":35402513219739,"sku":"131177020050601500","price":2925.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2006 \/ 12x750ml","offer_id":35402513252507,"sku":"131177020061200750","price":2150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2005 \/ 12x750ml","offer_id":35402513285275,"sku":"131177020051200750","price":1875.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2007 \/ 6x1.5L","offer_id":35402513318043,"sku":"131177020070601500","price":1875.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2007 \/ 12x750ml","offer_id":35402513350811,"sku":"131177020071200750","price":1900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0454\/4108\/9691\/products\/Bottle-Philipponnat_20-_20Clos_20Goisses_20Brut_20-_20NA_20-_20Champagne_20-_20White_20-_20Label_20-_201311770.png?v=1596886838"},{"product_id":"france-champagne-na-clos-goisses-juste-rose","title":"Philipponnat, Clos Goisses Juste Rose","description":"NA","brand":"wwus-dev","offers":[{"title":"2006 \/ 12x750ml","offer_id":35402513514651,"sku":"131178320061200750","price":3325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2007 \/ 12x750ml","offer_id":35402513547419,"sku":"131178320071200750","price":3675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2007 \/ 6x750ml","offer_id":35402513580187,"sku":"131178320070600750","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2006 \/ 6x750ml","offer_id":35402513612955,"sku":"131178320060600750","price":1675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0454\/4108\/9691\/products\/Bottle-Philipponnat_20-_20Clos_20des_20Goisses_20Juste_20Rose_20-_20NA_20-_20Champagne_20-_20Rose_20-_20Label_20-_201311783.png?v=1596886849"},{"product_id":"france-champagne-na-cuvee-1522","title":"Philipponnat, Cuvee 1522","description":"The 2008 Extra Brut Grand Cru 1522 is also showing very well, offering up aromas of citrus, confit citrus, blackcurrants, marzipan and spice.
