News
Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé 2006 is the fifth rosé cuvée from Clos des Goisses. Already legendary for collectors and connoisseurs, only 2 to 3 thousand bottles of each vintage are produced.
Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé is a very fine wine before being a very fine champagne, making it an excellent choice to accompany haute cuisine, as well as a perfect and unforgettable match for strong-flavoured dishes. The cuvée is also particularly enjoyable with pink meat, veal and lamb, as well as fish.
storing
Cellar aged for nine years and put on the market only when perfectly mature, Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé can then be kept for several decades and will continue to develop magnificently in the right conditions.
Wine Description
The Story
A legendary wine much appreciated by collectors, Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé is unanimously applauded by the most distinguished wine-critics.
63% Pinot Noir and 37% Chardonnay.
vinification
Traditional, partial vinification in wooden barrels (40%) leads to more complexity without premature oxidation. There is no malolactic fermentation, which enables the wine’s natural acidity to compensate the powerful character of the terroir.
aging
An extended aging at a constant temperature of 12°C in the House’s historic cellars in Mareuil-sur-Ay. The very low dosage (4.5 g/litre) gives full expression to the vinosity and minerality of this exceptional vineyard.
Vintage 2007
An unusually warm spring led to early flowering and initial optimism, which soon gave way to disappointment following one of the murkiest summers on record. Overall, 2007 was a difficult vintage saved by last-minute sunshine in late-August. Mildew and rot were the main culprits of the harvest, and the level of gluconic acid rocketed. The harvest began early, on August 24th, and was abundant in volume averaging 14,242 kg/ha. Pinot Meunier posed the biggest problems and Chardonnay clearly outperformed the rest. Many of the iconic prestige cuvée blanc de blancs were successfully produced, such as Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, Ruinart Dom Ruinart, Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Louis and Salon Le Mesnil. Some blended prestige cuvées such as Louis Roederer Cristal and Philipponnat Clos des Goisses were also made. Champagnes from 2007 are typically high in acidity and restrainedly classic in style, but lack the spine and strength of the greatest harvest years. Even if the vintage only receives three stars, its best Chardonnays are well worth seeking and storing.
