2015 Clos des Goisses

Vibrant and vivid in its pale gold colour and bright aromatics, this is an exceptionally impressive Champagne, elderflower, citrus, persistent lift with gentle pulses of fresh acidity set against richer brioche and toasted almond. Fermented half stainless steel and half in Burgundy barrels. 4.5g/l dosage, Thierry Garnier winemaker.

(Champagne; 78% Pinot Noir; 22% Chardonnay; dosage of 4.5 g/l; disgorged in March 2023; 18285 bottles; 13% alcohol; no malolactic fermentation; commercialisation in January 2025; tasted in Bordeaux in July and then with Charles Philipponnat at the property two weeks before its release). Floral and very citrus inflected as always. More citrus than red fruits (when compared to the other parcellaires wines of Philipponnat). Patisserie. Beurre salé. Tarte au citron. Rose petals. Brioche. Frangipane. Angelica. Fresh peach. Blood orange. Mango. Pink grapefruit. Iodine. This is a wine of incredible impact. So concentrated and intense. So youthful and fresh. Rich and yet so charged with fresh energy and the acidity so well integrated. Oyster shell. A rocky minerality too. Brilliantly chiselled in its structure, form and mouthfeel. This feels chalky in an almost visceral and highly tactile way. Fascinatingly complex and so young with all that evolution to come. It’s like being at the birth and imagining the future. Incredibly pure and incredibly long. More expressive when tasted with Charles Philipponnat due to the longer time since disgorgement.

The Clos des Goisses 2015 is a blend of 78% Pinot Noir and 22% Chardonnay that was 100% barrel fermented and finished with a 4.5 grams per liter dosage. Faint reductive notes blow off to reveal wonderfully fresh, creamy aromas of gariguette strawberry, rhubarb, vervain, crushed oyster shell and lightly toasted brioche. Medium-bodied with a pure, ripe fruit core and stimulating acidity adding a shimmering vibrancy to the delicate, pinpoint mousse. Overall this 2015 has a beautifully restrained, high-toned intensity that resonates like the constant tone of a tuning fork through the long, ethereal finish. Disgorged March 2024 (tasted four months post-disgorgement).18285 bottles produced. LGS15B4136EB
