Description
The 2009 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé is showing brilliantly, unfurling in the glass with scents of white cherries, pear, fresh bread, orange oil, papaya and bee pollen. Medium to full-bodied, deep and tightly wound, it’s concentrated and incisive, with racy acids, superb mid-palate volume and an elegant pinpoint mousse. It concludes with a bright, penetrating finish. This has everything it needs to age very gracefully indeed. Disgorged in March 2020 with 4.5 grams per liter dosage, it’s a blend of 64% Pinot Noir with Chardonnay.

Champagne Blend
The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn’t unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as ‘blanc de blanc’, meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or ‘blanc de noir’, which is made solely with Pinot Noir.
