The blend: 100% Pinot Noir.
Vinification: Traditional vinification for 80% of the wine in wooden barrels, the balance in tank. There was no malolactic fermentation.
Aging: Bottle aging on lees for over eight years at a constant temperature of 12°C in the house’s historic cellars in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ.
Dosage: Extra Brut (4.25 g/L) to give full expression to the vinosity and minerality of this exceptional vineyard.
Disgorged: March 2020.

Of the Clos des Goisses’ 14 plots, only the four finest were used to craft the 2011 blend. Even then, only the best wines were selected for the final blend. It’s an incredibly fine, floral and pure wine with great drive and finesse. The notes below capture it well.
Be sure to serve it in a proper wine glass, ideally not too cold, and don’t be scared to decant. In short, treat it like a fine white wine—for that’s what it is! It’s also a serious food wine and able to stand up to a wide range of dishes including roast chicken or pork, game birds, sausages, hard cheeses, pâtés and terrines, etc
.
Clos des Goisses 2011 is particularly floral with notes of iris, jasmine, roses as well as spring herbs. The nose is delightfully complicated by delicate citrus notes and hints of white peach. On the palate, the massive, full-bodied side of Clos des Goisses is certainly present but there seems to be less density than certain vintages. This is a more crystalline, precise expression of Clos des Goisses, one endowed with a fine and pure texture. Bravo.

Bright copper colour. Very savoury, dense, dry nose. Tight bead and more than a little pungency on the finish. So long and intense. Still quite tightly packed in, so that the finish is positively electric! This is stunning with some vibrant green-vegetation notes. Note the much higher alcohol than is usual for champagne. This just goes on and on and is all youthful pleasure. So many waves of rich minerality. Up there with the best.

Initially this is softly scented, with notes of yellow apple flesh, a breeze of salty sea air and an edge of honeycomb. With more temperature it becomes ever more expressive, with fruity hints of fragrant wild raspberry. Later there is an incredible floral hit, almost of narcissus. There is something solid here, yet it is exquisitely slender. Exquisitely fragrant and so serene, the wine holds within it the contradiction of northerly latitude and sun-kissed generosity. With air more savouriness comes though, like extra-salty soy. Exquisite concentration, the depth of subdued autolysis really speaks in the creamy length. Solid but soaring, statuesque. My favourite.
