Product Description
A legendary wine much appreciated by collectors, Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé is unanimously applauded by the most distinguished wine-critics.
This vintage was marked by contrasts: frost and dryness in winter, rainfall and warmth during the growing season, and a harvest of hot, particularly dry weather. It imparts a pleasant surprising quality to this powerful, intense, and exceedingly generous win.

Product details
Vinification
Traditional, partial vinification in wooden barrels (50%) leads to more complexity without premature oxidation. There is no malolactic fermentation, which enables the wine’s natural acidity to compensate the powerful character of the terroir.
Aging
An extended aging at a constant temperature of 12°C in the House’s historic cellars in Mareuil-sur-Ay. The very low dosage (4.25 g/litre) gives full expression to the vinosity and minerality of this exceptional vineyard.
