80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay. Juste Rosé was added to the portfolio in 1999. Rather than creating a flamboyantly bold wine, as might have been expected from the warm south-facing site, Charles Philipponnat opted for a more refined and pale-coloured wine—‘hardly a rosé’, as its name suggests. The wine is based on a similar blend to the Clos des Goisses Blanc, with an addition of Pinot from several Clos des Goisses lieux-dits, including La Dure, Le Collet, Les 28 Verges, Les Petits Cintres and Les Jolivets Noirs. Only 2,000-3,000 bottles are produced each year, and the wine ages for nine years before release. The rosé is now made with 30% saignée to allow control over the wine’s hue and structure, and the winemaking supports a texture that is at once supple and exceptionally graceful.

The 2014 Clos Des Goisses Extra Brut 1500ml from Champagne, France, is a stunning vintage from the renowned house of Philipponnat. The vibrant golden hue catches the eye, with delicate bubbles dancing gracefully in the glass. On the nose, aromas of baked apples, honey, and buttered brioche create an alluring bouquet. On the palate, the wine is rich and complex, with flavours of tangy lemon, ripe pear, and a touch of minerality. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and creamy, with a long, lingering finish. This vintage showcases the exceptional quality of the Clos Des Goisses vineyard, with its steep, south-facing slopes and chalky soils. A true expression of terroir, this Extra Brut is a masterpiece of balance and finesse. Enjoy now or cellar for years to come.
