The 2012 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé is a wild, exotic wine. Kirsch, white pepper, flowers, mint and cranberry lend a gorgeous air of exoticism. As always, the Rosé is light in body gracious and all finesse. The blend is 68% Pinot Noir and 32% Chardonnay. This is the first release made with a blend of what is essentially a Blanc de Noirs base, with the ‘still red’ portion (18%) coming from a saignée. Time in the glass brings out the breadth and natural texture of the year. This is a gorgeous Rosé from Philipponat. Disgorged: March, 2022. 11/2022

2255 bottles of a beautiful light pink shimmering wine for collectors to fight over. A wonderfully creamy, buttery and delicate rosé that belongs to the very best made in Champagne every year. Despite the high alcohol content of 13%, there is a wonderful nerve of tangy young gooseberry notes and rhubarb. There are also hawthorn, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, cranberries, blood grapes, almonds and white currants nestled in a light coffee-scented creamy duvet of fluff and Madagascar vanilla. Long caressing and incredibly delicate and supple despite its inherent power which will over time give more truffle-like and smoky aromas. Unexpectedly similar to 2009. 11/2023

The just-released 2012 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé shares the vinous, textural profile of the regular Clos des Goisses in this vintage, offering up aromas of mirabelle plum, crisp orchard fruits, white flowers, frangipane and papaya. Full-bodied, broad and fleshy, it's a rich, muscular Champagne of considerable depth and persistence. 11/2022

The 2012 Champagne Clos de Goisses Juste Extra Brut Rosé has 8-10% percent of still wine added to the base. The color is a pale salmon hue, and the wine is pretty, with a perfume of apricot, raspberry, spice box, and delicate smoke. It is full and satin-like in texture, with a fine mousse that coats the palate, and its underlying energy lifts its bouquet through a lasting finish. This is an exceptional wine to drink 2024-2044. 11/2022

This has pretty aromas of apple skins, strawberries, white pepper, hazelnuts, honeycomb, cinnamon stick and apricot compote. Open and silky, with very fine, soft bubbles, yet a firmness and phenolic tightness to it. Refined. 68% pinot noir and 32% chardonnay. Disgorged March 2022. Only 2255 bottles. Drink now or hold. 12/2022
