These are the last bottles we have to offer of this late release from Henri Goutorbe, and it is an excellent special Club Champagne from the remarkable 2012 vintage. Nestled in the village of Ay, within the Marne Valley, Goutorbe's journey began with a vine nursery, eventually evolving into the creation of exceptional Champagnes focusing on the beautiful Champagne that comes from Ay. Goutorbe is known for its environmentally friendly approach to viticulture from decades of vine raising. Their expertise reaches a pinnacle for their Special Club bottling, which is a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, vinified in stainless steel, to highlight its vibrant intensity, mineral tension, and complexity. This release reflects the house's signature style, benefiting from over a decade of aging on the lees. With a bit of extra time in the bottle since its release, 2012 is starting to show very nicely, with a great recent note from Galloni, who tried it at the end of last year. We have excellent pricing here today, and it's a top buy for Special Club Champagne from this great Pinot Noir vintage.
