Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 1998 Extra Brut Clos des Goisses L.V. is a beautiful wine for near and medium-term drinking. Tangerine peel, hazelnut, spice, chamomile and dried herbs open effortlessly. The 1998 shows the gentle patina of age yet also retains lovely freshness. It's a slender, nuanced Champagne that is all charm. Dosage is 4.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: March, 2023.

Disgorged in March 2023, the 1998 Extra Brut Clos des Goisses L.V. matured for 25 months in bottle and on lees. It reveals a brilliant, complex and intense bouquet with aromas of white pepper, smoke, orange peel, pastry, ripe fruits and flowers intertwined with a refreshing, delicate note of menthol. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and chiseled, it’s concentrated and racy with bright acids and an endless finish. Fully mature, it should age well over the next two to three years. This is a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay.
