Pinot Noir derived from two single plots adjacent to the House in Aÿ: non-grafted vines grown in the traditional en foule layering system and worked entirely by hand.

Light gold in color with great brilliance, it has a nose marked by elegant and persuasive aromas ranging from fresh to dried fruit, from custard to citrus fruits, from fresh mint to honey. Impressive lightness on the palate where acidity and rigorous minerality play on each other. Very long persistence with citrus memories.

The late harvest produced a bristling, intensely saline Clos des Goisses that will require years to be at its best. Even so, its depth, textural resonance and finish are so evocative as to what the future holds. The 2013 is a positively stunning Champagne and...
