78% Pinot Noir, 22% Chardonnay, Disgorged in March 2024 with dosage of 4.5g/l.
The majestic Clos des Goisses vineyard, one of Champagn's few actual "clos" rises steeply from the edge of the Marne River and is planted to 3.5 hectares of Pinot Noir and two hectares of Chardonnay. This historically revered, south-facing slope was the region's first to be bottled as a single-vineyard wine. With a focus on precise viticulture, old mass-selection vines, moderate yields and ripe fruit at harvest, the wine has never been better.

"...this clos is a special site, and the wine from it is truly remarkable." - Jamie Goode"It is arguably the single greatest vineyard site in Champagne..." - Peter Liem

Surpassing the 2010, the 2015 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses is gorgeous, evoking aromas of pear, mirabelle, spices, honey, brioche and perfectly ripe orchard fruits intertwined with delicate notes of iodine. Full-bodied, vinous and concentrated, it's layered and dense with remarkable depth at the core combined with racy acids and a structured, perfectly balanced mid-palate. Slightly austere at this stage, it finishes long and sappy with a licorice-inflected aftertaste. [...] Readers eager to experience this superb Champagne at its peak should be patient.
