“The 2010 Clos des Goisses shows a distinctly tropical, exotic profile that is unusual in Clos des Goisses. Candied orange peel, passionfruit, burnt sugar, mint and yellow flowers all meld together in the glass. Lush fruit, low-ish acid and soft contours add to the wine’s soft, open-knit feel. Time in the glass brings out more lifted, perfumed notes that add to the wine’s overall appeal ... The blend is 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay (a bit more Chardonnay than normal), while production is just 5,000 bottles ....”

"... it is going to be well worth an effort to find this wine in the market, as it was made in fairly small quantity, but is destined to be a brilliant vintage of Clos des Goisses ... it offers up a beautifully complex nose of apple, pear, hazelnut, chalky minerality, citrus peel and a nice touch of warm bread. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, racy and quite complex, with a great core of fruit, superb mineral drive, refined mousse and a very long, poised and vibrant finish ... right now, it is characterized by an early expressiveness and complexity that is a bit atypical for young Clos des Goisses and which is absolutely beautiful!
