Gosset Celebris 2012 Vintage Champagne - bottle

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.

'Tasted at Gosset, lemon gold, the bouquet marries intensity with subtlety.  A rush of citrus and blackcurrants is followed by notes of acacia, honey, orange zest and crushed chalk. Perfectly balanced, the palate is refined, taut, and crisp.  White berries, grapefruit, peach and gooseberry are balanced by firm black Pinot Noir tones, toast, and vanilla.  An astonishing achievement.'
