Product Description
The 2005 vintage of Clos des Goisses is a blend of 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay. To enhance complexity without premature oxidation, 50% of the wine was partially vinified in wooden barrels. The wine was then aged for 8 to 10 years at a constant temperature of 12°C in the House’s historic cellars in Mareuil-sur-Ay. This Champagne is very elegant with a touch of minerality and a lasting aromatic persistence.
Tasting Notes
Vinous 94
The 2005 Clos des Goisses is easily one of the wines of what turned out to be a complicated vintage. Just beginning to show the early signs of aromatic complexity, the 2005 graces the palate with the essence of candied lemon, almonds, chamomile, apricot and wild herbs. The 2005 is not the most complex or pedigreed Goisses, but it drinks beautifully today and should continue to deliver pleasure for another 15-20 years, perhaps more.
Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031
