Written Notes

The 1964 Clos des Goisses is a remarkable and rare vintage Champagne, showcasing the unique terroir of its single vineyard. After decades of aging, this wine has developed a deep complexity and refined elegance. 

On the nose, it opens with mature aromas of dried apricot, baked apple, and roasted almonds, complemented by notes of honey, brioche, and a subtle smokiness. There is a delicate layer of minerality and chalkiness that reflects the vineyard’s chalky slopes.

On the palate, the 1964 Clos des Goisses is full-bodied and intense, with flavors of dried fruit, citrus peel, and toasted hazelnuts. The wine’s rich texture is balanced by a bright acidity that has held beautifully over time, giving it an extraordinary freshness for its age. The signature chalky minerality persists, adding depth and structure.

The finish is long, creamy, and elegant, with lingering notes of caramel, spice, and a touch of saline.

Actually somewhat closed in its bouquet, especially in comparison with the aromatic 66. That is the drawback with recently disgorged old wines. On the other hand, the wine benefits from the disgorgement date in its youthfully fresh and generously creamy taste. Highly concentrated and pleasant aftertaste.

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is light. On the nose it is intense and complex. The taste is vivid, and dry, and high in acidity, medium-bodied, with well-structured structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has citrus, apricot, bread and dried-fruit flavours. The finish is long, pure and lingering.
