Reviews & Scores
Opening in the glass with autolytic aromas of toasted bread, yeast extract, honeyed peaches, confit citrus and praline, the 1992 Extra Brut Clos des Goisses L.V. is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with incisive acids, a fine mousse and a delicate, fine-boned profile, concluding with a mineral finish. This is an elegant middleweight Clos des Goisses that's drinking very well today. Disgorged in July 2018 after prolonged maturation sur lattes under natural cork, this new release inaugurates Philipponnat's L.V. program, formalizing their late-disgorged ex-maison releases.

(disgorged April 2005) This vintage was made by Norbert Thiébert, who retired in 1998. When first released, Clos des Goisses 1993 had seemed significantly superior, but the 1992 crept ahead about five years ago, and their relative qualities have been endorsed by this tasting. Different dates of disgorgement are primarily responsible for the variable performances of the four bottles and two magnums we tasted, and they will all be great Champagnes if given at least seven years post-disgorgement ageing under ideal conditions. The blend is 30% Chardonnay and 70% Pinot Noir, with a dosage of 4.3g/l. (JB) - DC

It had been a couple of years since I last crossed paths with the 1992 Clos des Goisses and the wine now is fully mature and probably best drunk up in the next several years. Clos des Goisses is one of the greatest terroirs in all of Champagne, and in most top vintages it will age considerably longer than the 1992 appears to be doing at the present time. This is not a criticism of the 1992, as this is a delicious bottle of bubbly for current drinking, but there is just the first touch of marshmallow-type tones on the finish that suggest that this wine is moving into the latter stages of its peak maturity and will probably not improve beyond this point in time. The mature and very classy nose offers up scents of apple, grapefruit, lemon zest, great, complex and very stony minerality, bread dough and an exotic topnote of mint leaf. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and stony, with fine acids, very elegant mousse and lovely length and grip on the wide open and complex finish. A very lovely and classy glass of bubbly today, I would be strongly inclined to drink up the 1992 Clos des Goisses over the next several years, while holding on to a few of the more structured surrounding vintages for longer-term cellaring. - JG

Deeper colour than most. Tingly exciting nose. Extremely zesty, tight and electric. Very fine with a refreshing green streak. Particularly complete and perfect to drink now. - JR
