Elisabeth Goutorbe
Elisabeth & Francois Jourdan
Vieilles Vignes Cinsault 2017
2017. Little gassy, but blew off. Cherry cola, herbs, soft dusty tannins, hint of orange zest, licorice and nice acid. Fun wine. — 3 years ago
Jean-Pierre Boisson
Elisabeth Chambellan Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2020
Good fruit followed by a long finish — 3 years ago
Henri Goutorbe
Cuvée Prestige 1er Cru Brut Champagne Blend
Blend of 70% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and rest Meunier, pale lemon color, light creamy mousse, tiny bubbles, with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, underlying toasty notes, dosage is 9g per liter. On the palate flavors of apple and peach with citrus zest, honeysuckle and chalky nuttiness. Lively acidity with good balance, long finish ending with fruit, biscuit and chalky notes. — 6 months ago
Pierre Gimonnet & Fils
Special Club Oger Grand Cru Champagne Blend 2016
Popped and poured; no formal notes. While the Goutorbe was ready for the business, this 2016 from Gimonnet was more of a discussion about its potential. This Special Club bottling showcases Oger and naturally, is a 100% Chardonnay BdB. I like where it’s headed, it’s just so youthful and tightly coiled. Loads of minerals and acid. Needs time. Drink after 2026 and through 2046. — a year ago

So this is not exactly Elizabeth. It is the same fruit that goes into the Elizabeth, but they made it only as a vintage. They did not put the Elizabeth name on it. There reason is, they believed it wouldn’t last two generations.
As a vintage, it is better than their N/V but not up to most Elizabeth’s I’ve had. However, it is about half the price of Elizabeth w/o less than half the quality.
It was a bit better than 93, 93.4 so I rounded down. — 20 days ago
