Champagne Henri Goutorbe - Spécial Club Millésime 2006

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2019

 (around 42 euros per bottle)

Luxurious presentation, Original creation from the Trésors de Champagne club. Agglomerated cork to ensure the absence of cork taste.

Aspect:

Pale gold, bright.

Fine and festive bubbles.

Fine bead of bubbles.

Nose:

Endless aromatic seduction.

The delicate scents of apple, pear and citrus fruits, underlined by notes of almond and hazelnut, heady signatures of the Chardonnay (30%), gently interlace the radiant fragrances of red and black fruits deliciously spicy, characteristic signs of the Pinot Noir (70%).

Radiant maturity, result of dix long years of ageing on laths of the bottles in the cellars of the house, driven by of generous fragrances of pastries and cocoa.

Palate:

Exciting tension at the opening, highlighted by the vibrant chalky minerality.

Remarkable, deep and caressing presence, definitely reinforced by the judicious fulfilment of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and supported by a carefully considered dosage with only 8 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.

Tasty finish.

Very great length on the palate.

With this cuvée Spécial Club Millésime 2006, approved by the very demanding professional jury of the of the Trésors de Champagne club, Etienne Goutorbe, its producer, offers us an brilliant interpretation of the Grand Cru terroir of Aÿ.



While the family saga started by Emile Goutorbe in 1918 continues to be developed with the arrival of Etienne Goutorbe and his brother Bertrand, fourth generation of inspired wine growers, the Champagne house Henri Goutorbe tries its hardest to affirm its genuine style producing each year with passion around 180,000 bottles of a range of highly expressive champagnes. A vine nursery, a 22 hectares vineyard and the 3-star hotel Castel Jeanson establish the house as an unavoidable signature of Champagne.
