Gosset Champagne – FOR OVER FOUR CENTURIES
“THE OLDEST WINE HOUSE IN CHAMPAGNE: AŸ 1584”
HAS FORGED A STYLE THAT CELEBRATES FRENCH ART DE VIVRE.
GRANDE RÉSERVE BRUT
Cellar master Odilon de Varine comments:
“This is the signature cuvée of the House and is the perfect expression of the Champagne Gosset style, which has been used for over 30 years.”
Its structure of absolute subtlety and distinction is the perfect expression of the Champagne Gosset style.
Vinified and aged on lees to eliminate all risk of premature oxidation. Malolactic fermentation is carefully avoided in order to preserve all the natural fruit aromas of the wine and to allow the wines to undergo longer ageing.
Brut dosage (8 g/l) to maintain the balance between freshness, fruit and the body of the wine.
Aged for a minimum of 3 years in the cellar at a constant temperature, well beyond the legal minimum of 15 months.
APPEARANCE
Luminous and golden.
NOSE
Freshness and fruit aromas. The Chardonnay offers a delicacy underscored by aromas of yellow fruit such as peach and Mirabel plum.
PALATE
On the palate the Pinot Noir from Aÿ has a magnificent structure. Hawthorn and white blossom intertwine harmoniously, with a finely-honed acidity carried by notes
of citrus.
PAIRING
This champagne that is both delicate and tense, suave and assertive, is naturally versatile. A dual personality that complements elaborate cuisine with simplicity and grace. Savour with tapas, farm-reared chicken, oysters, langoustines, comté, parmesan…
