Clos des Goisses Brut Champagne Blend

This has a fascinating nose. Roses, red berries, sweet yellow flowers. Lush and open on the palate. Quite delicate. Lacks a bit of steel but has a really pretty and unique palate. Excellent- very good given the vintage.

Creamy, but very little fruit left

Soft composed lemon, brioche, minerals. This is lush and open knit but has good balance. The best 03 champagne I’ve had by a long stretch. Definition and pretty secondary notes. Very good.

Very soft and supple. Open knit with honey, apple and brioche. Lacks some cut but mellow and yummy. Interesting due to the vintage.

Sheer balance, no sign of over-ripeness here. Majestic

A baby but delicious none the less.

Can't hope for the new year to be better if you don't ring it in with the best. Cheers to everyone out there. Thanks for a great year! #philipponnat #closdesgoisses #monopole #vintagechampagne #saberit

Few even had the ability to make an 03. Definitely atypical. Green.

Unusual but good. Tastes aged and fresh at the same time if that's possible. Yeasty brioche and hazelnuts. Has balance but unsurprisingly lacks the zip and cut of leaner vintages. Atypical but fascinating

Disgorged October '12, this wine exhibits baked, spiced apples, brioche and autolysis with a depth usually reserved for still wine. Yes, color is golden and the wine drinks exceptionally easy now, this can go further and is quite compelling for a vintage known for hot growing conditions.
