The Clos des Goisses Long Veillessmont 1999 is second release of this vintage 25 years post-harvest. Redolent of ethereal, creamy autolytic aromas with flashes of citrus and flint that with time evolve into notes of raw oat milk, wet wheat and wood shavings. It changes rapidly in the glass. The palate is less about fruit and more about autolytic, yeasty notes that are enlivened by remarkably vibrant acid and lean aromatic notes of wet stones and minerals. While it is a unicorn stylistically, it nonetheless finishes with vigor; chiseled and clean. Disgorged March 2024 after 25 years on the lees and finished with 4.5 grams per liter dosage

(Champagne; 59% Pinot Noir; 41% Chardonnay; March 2024 – for January 2025; 4.5 g/l of dosage; 12.5% alcohol; the ‘LV’ stands for long vieillessement – late-released after 25 years; bottled in 1999; disgorged in March 2023). The first Clos des Goisses to be bottled after Charles Philipponnat’s arrival, though the wine itself had already been made. A little like 2014 or 2004 as a vintage – with a larger production and a little less intensity. White pear. Peach and peach confit. Peach stone. A subtle bitter almond note. Angelica once again. Delicate at first but with depth and concentration – subtly delivered from below. A little hint of residual sugar. There’s lower acidity here and that raises the sensation of sucrosity (though the dosage remains at 4.5 g/l). Sous bois notes. Trompette de la mort, above all with aeration. A time capsule. Wonderfully singular.
