A brisk attack yields bright red fruit and elderberry with fine petillance. Disgorged after nine years on the lees with a dosage of 4.25 g/litre, this vintage is unique: 100% Pinot Noir. An attack of oidium affected the Chardonnays too much, with production only half of a normal vintage, at some 12,000 bottles. The summer was ‘less solar than normal, so we have more red fruit like cherry and black fruit aspects, but not too ripe,’ Charles Philipponnat commented. Worthy of the terroir and with a long finish, although Philipponnat is more excited over the 2012 vintage, which is ‘superior’, he said. Drinking Window 2021 – 2030.
The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]
The beautiful rolling hillsides of the Champagne region of France have, for hundreds of years, been producing many of the world's most famous wines. The sparkling white wines to come out of Champagne's prestigious wineries have conquered the world, and are drank in celebration across the globe. The vast majority of the region is under vine, and grows predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varietals, which are usually blended together by master wine-makers in order to make their recognizable and widely loved produce. The north-easterly region of Champagne has a relatively cool climate, and quite a lot of rainfall, making it far from ideal for ripening grapes. However, the presence of heavily forested areas in the region helps maintain a balanced temperature, and the generations of expertise the wineries hold clearly produces excellent results in spite of the climatic problems.

Drink now through 2026. 1,002 cases made, 25 cases imported.

The 2011 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses is bright and perfumed, with lovely energy driving the citrus, floral and savory notes. In 2011, Clos des Goisses is a touch lithe, but its balance is simply impeccable. In 2011, Clos des Goisses is, unusually, 100% Pinot Noir, taken from just four of the fourteen Goisses parcels, the result of some of the Chardonnay parcels being replanted and the Pinots having distinctly Chardonnay-like characteristics. Given the challenges of the year, I would not push my luck on aging. If there is one 2011 I would be willing to bet on, at least for the medium term, it is Clos des Goisses. Dosage is 4.5 liters per gram.

An elegant, pure and wafting nose freely offers up its softly yeasty aromas of apple, quinine and ripe citrus elements, especially Meyer lemon. There is excellent richness to the relatively full-bodied and beautifully textured flavors that are supported by a decidedly pliant mousse before concluding in a complex and sneaky long finish. This is a decidedly rich and generously proportioned vintage for Clos des Goisses and as such, it is already drinking quite well though I underscore that it should continue to age well. I would be inclined to enjoy it now but if your taste runs to that very toasty/yeasty character aged Champagne often develops, this would be a good candidate for that.
