"Henri Goutorbe is one of the more important growers in Champagne....Generally excellent rich, well-structured Champagnes—always satisfying to drink. Goutorbe’s Grand Cru Spécial Club is in a different class." - Tom Stevenson, World Encyclopedia of Champagne & Sparkling Wine
93 Points - "Disgorged in May 2018, this release of Goutorbe's 2006 Brut Grand Cru Special Club is showing very well indeed, bursting from the glass with a rich bouquet of warm biscuits, confit lemons, ginger, honeycomb and smoky yellow orchard fruit. On the palate, the wine is broad and full-bodied, with superb concentration, ripe acids and a fleshy, vinous profile, its mousse already nicely refined. The finish is long and lusty. This is a gourmand Champagne, dominated by Pinot Noir from Aÿ, that will work well at table." - William Kelley (Wine Advocate, Apr 2019)
