Tasting Notes

Deep straw. Very sumptuous nose. Lovely and complete. Full and racy. Big and bold but more refined than the Clos des Goisses 1996. Really tense yet opulent. Great balance. Lots to get your teeth into. So long.

Sourced from a small plot inside the famous sun-drenched Clos des Goisses in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, east of Epernay, this Champagne is composed of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. The nose is very expressive, all fruit and brioche. It has spent time in oak barrels, giving a light smoky note to the full-bodied, vinous palate. A magnificent freshness pervades on the long finish. Lobster seems the right choice for a Champagne of such powerful expression.
