Vinous (Antonio Galloni) 96 pts!  The 2000 L.V. Long Vieillissement, a recent re-release, is a fabulous choice for readers who enjoy Champagnes with a bit of bottle age complexity. Hazelnut, dried flowers, orchard fruit, herbs, mirabelle and lightly honeyed notes are all beautifully delineated throughout. The 2000 offers the weight and slightly more mature notes of a mature Champagne, but with the freshness that comes from impeccable provenance and a relatively recent disgorgement. If that sounds appealing, well, it is. The Brut L.V. Long Vieillissement offers a quintessential Goisses experience from the first taste until the last. This is an absolutely pristine bottle. Dosage is 4.5 grams/liter. Disgorged: May 2015. (Drink between 2016 - 2036)

John Gilman 95 pts! This bottle of 2000 Philipponnat “Clos des Goisses” L.V. bottling was disgorged in May of 2015, after fourteen years aging sur latte. It was finished with a dosage of 4.5 grams per liter for this release. The wine offers up beautiful purity on both the nose and palate today, with the bouquet wafting from the glass in a complex blend of apple, nectarine, warm bread, caraway seed, a touch of hazelnut, a beautifully refined base of chalky soil tones, smoky overtones and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and à point, with a great core and soil signature, refined mousse, a lovely spine of acidity and a long, well-balanced and beautifully focused finish. First class juice. (Drink between 2023 - 2055)
