Expert Reviews
Decanter 94 Points | The nose opens with the fresh ripeness of yellow apple and highlights of Granny Smith. It has beautifully subtle autolysis on the palate, deepening into notes of creamy apple crumble, Golden Delicious and Mirabelle plum, while remaining utterly strait-laced. Elegance, length and absolute freshness are inherent and quietly convincing.
The Wine Spectator 93 Points | A spine of chiseled acidity structures this vivid, creamy Champagne, which has a minerally underpinning of smoke and brine and flavors of Asian pear, baked pineapple, lemon curd, toasted brioche and roasted almond. Should pair well with grilled fish. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
Jeb Dunnuck 92 Points | With a base from 2018, the NV Champagne Grande Reserve Brut pours a bright straw hue and lifts from the glass with pure and inviting aromas of white peach, fresh flowers, and wet stone. Medium-bodied, with a fresh lift on the palate, a fresh pillowy mousse, and a delicate saline finish, this is a wonderful calling card for the freshness of the house style.
James Suckling 92 Points | Lemon tart, spiced apples, almonds and pastries on the nose of this tasty Champagne. It’s fresh, lively and very precise, with fine bubbles and a light, chalky undertone.
The Wine Enthusiast 91 Points | Gosset’s nonvintage cuvée is a fine example of the richness of this producer’s Champagnes. It is full, laden with Pinot texture and a touch of toast from bottle aging. Drink now.
Winemaker
The Gosset family has been established in Champagne well before 1484, when Jean Gosset was born. A century later, Pierre Gosset, alderman of Aÿ and winegrower, founded the House, which produced still wines, often red, from its own vineyards.
Architecture: Chardonnay 45%, Pinot Noir 45 %, Meunier 10%
Cellaring: end of spring 2019 - 4 years minimum in cellar.
Disgorgement: after disgorgement, the bottles are returned to the cellars to rest for
at least 6 months to allow the wine to smoothly assimilate the dosage
Villages: Aÿ, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Villers-Marmery...
Dosage: 8 g/l
This is our signature Champagne, the expression of the Gosset style.
APPEARANCE: Luminous, golden hue.
NOSE: The nose shows freshness and fruit with notes of lemon meringue pie followed
by yellow fruit such as Mirabelle plums. Then, as the Champagne warms up, aromas of plums with slightly honeyed and toasted notes start to come through.
