    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    The 2006 vintage from Clos des Goisses has now bowled us over on two tasting occasions. The impressively steep, south facing aspect of the Goisses vineyard, that leads down to the River Marne (one reason for such consistent ripeness) has produced a wine of considerable concentration and length, fabulously ripe fruit and the structure and tension for extended cellaring. It is as good as anything we’ve tasted from the 2006 vintage. The vital statistics are as follows: 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, 4.5 g/l of dosage, disgorged May 2015 after 8 years sur lie.

    Antonio Galloni,

    The 2006 Clos des Goisses is stellar, but it is also going to need quite a bit of time to come into its own. Powerful and ample in the best of the Goisses style, the 2006 hits the palate with serious intensity. Orchard fruits, lemon oil, white flowers and almonds are some of the many notes that open up in the glass, but, as is often the case with young Goisses, it is the wine's gravitas that is front and center. Even with all of its overtness, though, the 2006 retains striking, crystalline purity. I imagine the 2006 will reward Champagne lovers with many decades of truly exceptional drinking. The only thing the 2006 needs is time. The question is: How much?
