Packaged in a solid oak box. The incredibly rare Juste Rosé was added to the portfolio in 1999, and 2009 is only the eighth release. The wine is based on the same blend as the Clos des Goisses 2009, with an addition of seven percent still Pinot Noir wine, made from the highest lieu-dit of the Clos des Goisses. Less than 3,000 bottles are produced in any given year.
Fermentation took place in large oak with a degree of maceration bringing in more grip than can be found in the Clos des Goisses proper. The wines did not go through malolactic, the idea being that the natural acidity would compensate for the richness provided by the terroir and the power of the vintage. The wine was aged for nine years, only being put on the market when perfectly mature, around 14 months after the Clos des Goisses bottling.
Quite difficult to tell this rosé from a white, but then it is only 'just rosé'. Very pale bronze. The same ultra-pretty nose as the Cuvée 1522 rosé, but more intense and with a bit more grip and density on the palate. What a stunning wine – and with quite a future too. Very long and beautifully balanced on a tightrope. This wine caresses the palate. How lovely to find such a gentle wine with such a low dosage. Vibrates on the extremely long finish.

The 2009 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé is absolutely gorgeous. In 2009, the Juste Rosé has a bit more body and resonance than normal, which works so well here given that it can be a bit fleeting. Crushed red berries, mint, white pepper and chalk are some of the many aromas and flavors that race through this taut, finely sculpted Rosé from Philipponnat. The 2009 is beautifully done.

Our attention is captivated from the first whiff by the dazzling aromatic complexity of this exceptional 2009 Juste Rosé. Such a vibrant expression of raspberry and citrus fruits ranging from blood orange to clementine mingling with floral scents of iris and rose. There is power and thrust for its full-bodied texture that stretches out on a long finish. One of the great rosé Champagnes from Clos des Goisses, it should age beautifully over the next 20 years. Dosage: 4.5 g/L.

An incredibly intense nose: super-creamy with the finest touch of bourbon vanilla, cherry and bitter almond and again that edge of white pepper and a hint of tiny, ripe, red-cheeked vineyard peach. The body is rounded and has complete fluidity and an overtone of very ripe white currant and redcurrant. Its beautiful depth recalls a resonant, earthy Pinot-ness of autumn leaf which starts verging into white truffle. There is something visceral, undeniably woodlandish and utterly seductive about it. A marvel.
