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.
Gosset Grand Millésime 2016
Tasted at Gosset. Pale straw colour, with a precise, incredibly regular bead of tiny, pearlescent bubbles. The nose is intense, precise and harmonious, with a citrus, red berries, chalky minerals and a hint of honey. On the palate, it's firm, crisp and powerful. Green fruits, grapefruit, red berries and quince notes lead, but then softer, richer flavours of honey, peach, creamy yeast and gentle vanilla spice come through at the finish. Elegant and wonderfully delineated, this is classic Gosset from a classic vintage. Drink now with seafood, white meats or poultry, or cellar for another decade. MWH Wines
