Gosset Celebris 2008 Vintage Rose Champagne - Premium Gift Box of 3
£605.95
About Gosset - For over four centuries Gosset Champagne has been hand crafting a house style that stems from artistry, elegance and refinement. The oldest Wine House in Champagne, Gosset was founded in Aÿ in 1584 by Pierre Gosset. In the 18th century Gosset joined their neighbours and began to make the sparkling wines for the first time. It was at this time the house adopted the unique antique flask-shaped bottle that is still used today. Winemaking at Gosset is as simple as possible and avoids malolactic fermentation to help protect the characteristics of each vineyard and cru. With their individual style Gosset seek to create wines that reflect the true characteristics from the cool climate and chalk soils that make the Champagne region unique. Gosset wines are also marked by their extended ageing and the average length of time spent in the cellar across the range is 5 years.
2008 Celebris Rose
Offering up aromas of honeycomb, warm biscuits, red berries and spices, the just-released 2008 Extra Brut Celebris Rosé is full-bodied, ample and layered, with a concentrated, even expansive mid-palate; but if this Celebris Rosé leads with its voluminous core of fruit, it's its tangy spine of acidity and taut structure that dominates the bone-dry finish. That structure will demand some patience, but this is an impressive effort from Gosset. 94/100 The Wine Advocate
A cristal-clear, luminous coppery shade that points to the many years spent ageing in cellars. NOSE: Strawberry jam lifted by a spicy (black pepper) and menthol touch, lingering on with ripe summer fruits (peach, nectarine, apricot). PALATE: A full-bodied tautness, with accords of ripe black cherry shot through with a blood orange note that provides a flash of enticing tangy freshness. The blend is dominated by an iodic, salty finish reminiscent of the mineral crispness of the Chardonnay. Champagne Gosset
