This is bright and lively, its ripe citrus and red fruit flavours feeling elegant and gracefully discreet while retaining a sense of potential energy, like a coiled spring. It’s shaped by its chalky minerality, even appearing downright salty on the mid-palate, yet there’s a hidden depth of fruit as well, round and mouthfilling, with an uncommon finesse for the vintage. It finishes with superb length and poise, anchored and harnessed by that chalk, and it promises a long and slow development ahead. Disgorged: January 2011. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2054

Part of Philipponnat: An 'astounding' Clos des Goisses 1978-2014 vertical

Based on the regular Clos des Goisses the 2006 Clos des Goisses Just Rosé Brut gets its very light but fascinating apricot color by blending in 5% or 6% of red Goisses wine. Highly delicate and fruity on the palate, with lovely fruit and delicate iodine and chalky flavors, this is a fascinatingly round and delicate Rosé that reveals an intense and lovely fruity finish. Everything here is highly finessed, round, rich but pure and mineral. "2006 was a pleasant, very easy and beautifully fruity vintage, similar to 2004 but more fruity than floral." Disgorged in February 2017. 2,220 bottles made. Tasted April 2018. - Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate #237, June 2018
