80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay. Juste Rosé was added to the portfolio in 1999. Rather than creating a flamboyantly bold wine, as might have been expected from the warm south-facing site, Charles Philipponnat opted for a more refined and pale-coloured wine—‘hardly a rosé’, as its name suggests. The wine is based on a similar blend to the Clos des Goisses Blanc, with an addition of Pinot from several Clos des Goisses lieux-dits, including La Dure, Le Collet, Les 28 Verges, Les Petits Cintres and Les Jolivets Noirs. Only 2,000-3,000 bottles are produced each year, and the wine ages for nine years before release. The rosé is now made with 30% saignée to allow control over the wine’s hue and structure, and the winemaking supports a texture that is at once supple and exceptionally graceful.

Reviews

“The 2014 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé is terrific. This is the second vintage where the Pinot component includes 30% Pinot Noir (the highest here) done with a light saignée (rather than blended in as still red wine), which results in a Rosé with striking persistence. Cranberry, white pepper, chalk, mint and pink grapefruit lend complexity. More than anything else, though, I am so impressed with the wine's depth and the overall direction for this bottling. What a delight. Dosage is 4.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: March 2024.”

“‘Juste’ in this context means ‘hardly’. The first edition in 1999 was made from a base wine that was a blend of red and white wines. After a few years, they decided to concentrate the red wine in the blend by bleeding it, because they found that a longer maceration caused some green notes and extra tannins that they didn’t want. But they found that the saignée wine they produced by bleeding was very interesting, and from then on used the skin-fermented red for the rosé NV and 1522 rosé, while they saved the bled juice for this wine, and they’ve found it ages very well. This spends 24 h-36 h on skins. Pale pink with a hint of orange, this is precise and linear, with lovely crystalline fruit. There’s some red cherry and cranberry but also some lemon with a tangy finish and astonishing precision.”
