Tasting notes
We start with the 1999 Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé from Philipponnat. Pale pink in hue, this has a gorgeous nose, slightly honeyed and richer than I anticipated, verging on red fruit aromas such as strawberry and hints of nougat. Likewise, the palate is well-balanced and slightly viscous, lower in acidity than I suspect some would like, and has a long, quite ravishing finish. It is probably not the kind of Rosé for those seeking champagne with nerve, and I would drink this sooner rather than later.
