Gosset Celebris Vintage 2012 Blanc de Blancs

Champagne Gosset based in Aÿ is the oldest wine house in Champagne (1584). Since 1993, the business has been in the ownership of the Cointreau family. Gosset are the proud owners of Grand Cuvée vineyards and source their grapes from a network of growers in Premier and Grand Cru vineyards. The Gosset wines are matured for much longer than legally required, which, along with the suppression of malolactic fermentation, helps to create the wines’ distinctive depth of flavour.

A Great Wine before being a Great Champagne. This exceptional cuvée is distinguished by its rarity. The very first edition of Gosset Celebris Blanc de Blancs Vintage.

It is a limited edition of 15,000 bottles. Time is part of the essence and personality of Celebris. It contributes to the expression of the style of this confidential cuvée.

The nose is fresh, with a hint of menthol spicing up the fruity aromas of pink grapefruit and frangipane.

The attack is clear and fresh with a touch of lemon. On the mid-palate, the wine evokes a range of gourmet aromas: apples baked in salted butter, tarte tatin, far breton… This subtle complexity is enhanced by a spicy touch of candied ginger and star anise. The long, tonic and mineral finish evokes fresh pineapples with a touch of citrus.
